• Construction near Belmar Park still stalled amid lawsuits (denver7.com) — A long-stalled luxury apartment project beside Lakewood's Belmar Park remains fenced-off and dormant as dueling lawsuits between developer Kairo, the city, and the Save Belmar Park group drag on. Lakewood can't issue a building permit until open-space requirements are met, leaving neighbors like daily park-walker Chris Vigil stuck with downed trees, chain-link fencing, and uncertainty about what will ultimately rise next to their favorite trails.
