Residents call for more composting bins and public outreach on Aspen entrance project
Summary
Public commenters urged better recycling/composting stations—especially near City Market—and clearer public outreach on whether the city will pursue a reevaluation or a new Environmental Impact Statement for the Aspen entrance project.
During the public-comment period, Francis Stuckins urged the city to partner with Evergreen Zero Waste to install compost and recycling stations—particularly outside City Market—and to expand public education so residents and students understand which bags can be composted. He noted ongoing outreach and suggested the city lead statewide examples of waste reduction.
On transportation, Tony Kronberg asked the council to hold an open house before a decision about the Aspen entrance project so the public can understand whether officials will pursue a reevaluation (which typically does not allow additional public comment) or a full new Environmental Impact Statement (which would include a broader review and public input). Kronberg said a new EIS could extend coverage to the airport and Brush Creek Park and would allow consideration of additional bridge/connectivity alternatives.
