The Project
The proposed 5280 Trail is 5.28-mile loop trail connecting many vibrant and diverse Downtown Denver neighborhoods through the urban outdoors by creating a powerful sense of place. It will link Downtown neighborhoods and cultural and civic amenities while adding trees and green space to the Downtown area.
Our Role
While at the City of Denver, Gretchen advocated for public health and equity considerations in the Vision Plan to address health inequities in several underserved communities along the 5280 Trail, including strategies to improve pedestrian safety, increase access to nature and open space, and increase opportunities for physical activity to improve health and wellbeing.
