Denver Action Team presents data: over 7,000 graffiti removals year-to-date and pilot for blanket authorization
Summary
Denver Action Team staff told the mayor and council their team has completed more than 7,000 graffiti work orders year-to-date, is on track for roughly 2.2–2.5 million square feet of removal this year, and proposed streamlining authorizations with a digital form and potential blanket opt-out approach.
Denver Action Team staff briefed Mayor Mike Johnston and the City Council on the city's graffiti-abatement program, reporting program metrics and outlining operational practices and potential process changes.
Joey Hernandez, introduced by the mayor as part of the Denver Action Team (Solid Waste Management), said the team transitioned from Denver Partners Against Graffiti to a more visible 'Denver Action Team' that uses wrapped trucks, power washers and a 'high ranger' lift to remove graffiti and small debris from public spaces. "We moved to the Denver Action Team because we wanted to be a little bit more visible in the community," Hernandez said.
