In this installment of Changing Denver Bit By Bit, we sit down with Courtland Hyser, Denver's principal city planner, to talk about neighborhood plans.

Our Arapahoe Square episode specifically highlighted the lasting impact of two of these plans, so we thought it was fitting to further explore why neighborhood plans are so important in general, especially in light of Denver's new Neighborhood Planning Initiative.

In this installment of Changing Denver Bit By Bit, we revisit an episode from season one, How to Climb Stoner Hill. Our partner on that show, local journalist Andy Kenney, gives us an update on what's been happening on the ground at Stoner Hill. Then, we talk to some people at Civitas, the landscape architecture and urban design firm that's been contracted to work on the park now.

Here's a few stories that Andy's written about the situation in Commons Park since our episode came out: 

Denver police have been banning alleged drug users — mostly pot — from individual parks — mostly Commons Park

Denver will try to liven up Commons Park with free activities

Commons Park’s future might start with an “unorthodox” private process

On Changing Denver this month, we explore the convergence of two trends -- Denver's explosive economic growth and the increasing persecution of our homeless community -- in a neighborhood you may never have heard of. It's called Arapahoe Square. 

This episode was produced in partnership with the Denver VOICE. For further reading on Arapahoe Square, check out their February issue.

Our theme song is "Minnow" by Felix Fast4ward.
