1. Resident of Denver's Globeville neighborhood continues multi-year battle for green space (cbsnews.com) — In Denver's Globeville neighborhood, a resident is pressing the city to turn a long-vacant, dusty lot near I-70 and Washington Street into badly needed green space. After years of emails and pressure that led Denver to buy the land, he now worries officials may sell it instead and has even decided to run for City Council District 9.
2. Denver Audubon's fall bird banding effort draws crowds, tracks migratory health (9news.com) — Denver Audubon is inviting residents to its fall bird banding sessions at Kingery Nature Center in Chatfield State Park, running through October 15 with public access on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For $10 admission, you can walk a short trail, watch researchers band migratory birds up close, and learn how local conservation work supports hundreds of species traveling the Central Flyway.
3. As Medicaid eligibility tightens, Denver nonprofit helps clients navigate coverage gaps (9news.com) — A Denver-based nonprofit, Servicios de la Raza, is helping local residents like cancer patient Hipolito navigate repeated losses and reinstatements of Medicaid coverage as eligibility rules tighten. Case managers now face new federal restrictions, income calculations, and looming Oct. 1 changes that will exclude many immigrants, leaving clients struggling to afford marketplace plans and basic living costs.
4. 40+ Double Dutch club gives Denver area women a place to jump, heal and bond (9news.com) — Women 40 and older in the Denver area can join the local 40+ Double Dutch chapter, which meets every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at the old Paris Elementary School in Aurora. Members say the jump rope sessions offer exercise, emotional healing, and a tight-knit sisterhood, with ages ranging from early 40s to late 70s and plenty of social activities beyond the gym.
5. Bow Mar leaders consider scaled-back gate plan amid pushback from Denver and Littleton (denver7.com) — Denver residents should know Bow Mar is reconsidering its plan to gate several community entrances after Denver and Littleton objected to limiting access on public roads. Town leaders are now exploring a single gate farther from Denver's main roads while weighing safety, traffic concerns, and feedback from both supportive and skeptical Bow Mar homeowners.
