Just a reminder that Thursday night (tonight/tomorrow depending on when you read this!) is the City’s open house for the Downtown River Project.
Please come and view the preliminary Master Plan for the project, see where the two whitewater features will be placed, and show your support for the park and project. If you can’t attend, please contact the city council and voice your support! Your support has gotten us this far, please keep it up so we can make sure it comes to fruition!
What: Fort Collins Downtown River Project Open House
Where: The Lincoln Center, 417 W Magnolia St, Fort Collins, CO 80521
When: Thursday, February 27th, 2014, any time between 5:30-7:30
We need to continue to show council how important this is to our community. The best way to do that is to attend the open house event for this project. While you’re there you will get to see what the City has planned for the potential whitewater park as well as the rest of the downtown river corridor restoration. Most importantly, you can give your feedback on the Preliminary Master Plan of the project.
More information on how to find your representative as well as sample letters are available on the “Support the Park” page on the Whitewater Park site:

Thank you for your support and be sure to contact City Council with your thoughts and hopefully support either in person or in writing!

Great news! The preliminary Master Plan for the Downtown River Project contains a whitewater park with at least two features! But we still need to make sure it passes the City Council vote this May.
To aid in this, please try to attend the open house the City is having to answer questions about the Downtown River Project. If you can’t attend, please contact the city council and voice your support! Your support has gotten us this far, please keep it up so we can make sure it comes to fruition!

We want to pack this room full of river enthusiasts. City Council members will likely be present at the event, they are always looking to see how much interest there is from their constituents.
If you cannot attend, please send an email to your representative. More information on how to find your representative as well as sample letters are available on the “Support the Park” page on the Whitewater Park site:
