Why Are We Here?
There are no secrets here. The idea for a Citizens for a Livable Ralston Community neighborhood association started with a suggestion by Arvada City Councilor Shelley Cook to two local residents, T.O. Owens and John Kiljan. We were two of a number of local residents who thought that the City was moving too fast on its redevelopment plans for the North Jeffco Community Park. Ms Cook's suggestion was that local community members would have more say in influencing public policy of we could organize, even if it were just a loose organization. Starting up any neighborhood association is a lot of work. If you don't believe that, volunteer with us to distribute organizational fliers on a windy day, or write a few articles or news reports on items of neighborhood community interest -- not to mention the effort in setting up and maintaining a website. We did not want to make that kind of effort if it were only to provide feedback on the park. Other community issues are on the horizon including the reconstruction of Ralston Road from Olde Town to Kipling and the integration of AURA's plans for the renewal of the Triangle shopping district. After some discussion, we decided to make the attempt only if the association were designed to cover broader community-development issues. The suggestion for the name, Citizens for a Livable Ralston Community, came from RTD board member, Lorraine Anderson.-
