Shaping the Future of Westerly Creek

On June 2, 2009, the Urban Drainage & Flood Control District presented their final draft report, the Westerly Creek (Lower) Drainageway Planning Study Update, to the community.

The City and County of Denver and the City of Aurora are currently reviewing the document. It should be adopted by the two municipalities by late 2009.

The Westerly Creek Connection (WCC) team also presented their vision for the corridor at the June 2nd meeting. WCC has received funding from the Colorado Water Conservation Board, Denver Public Works, and the Quick Foundation, to develop a Greenway Master Plan for the Westerly Creek. WCC will build upon the hydrology analysis and recommendations in the UDFCD study to create a guide for future development, flood control, and habitat improvements that can enhance environmental, social and economic conditions along Westerly Creek.
