MAJOR UPDATE: WESTMINSTER VOTED 4-3 TO WITHDRAW FROM THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN GREENWAY!




Thank you for making your voice heard!


On Monday September 23rd, we rallied at the Westminster City Council meeting to ask that the city withdraw their participation in the Rocky Mountain Greenway project. The Council has heard the community! Thank you to everyone who added your voice to make this possible!


On Monday 9/23/2024 Westminster City Council voted 4-3 to withdraw from the Rocky Mountain Greenway. We commend the leaders in Westminster for their courage and wisdom to make a stand on behalf of public health. Here are some quotes from their statements at the Westminster City Council meeting on 9/23/2024:



Councillor Ireland: "We need to quit erasing our history in this country" "We need to have signage that tells the truth" "I'm tired of the hiding, I'm tired of what has happened with our government in so many ways, that they're not being honest with the citizens of this country, and so I will be voting my conscience."


Councillor Hott: "I always vote my values when I'm up here. I need to be able to sleep at night. And public health and safety are very important to me."


Councillor Carmelia:  "This is a case of unusual paramount and involves the health and safety of our community. I cannot undo what previous decision makers have done. I can however make a stand for what is so clearly the right thing to do. I want to emphasize again that this is a historical vote. In my mind this might be the most significant vote I make on my tenure on Council."


Councillor Ezeadi:  "I think we all know what the truth has been in this area, legacy contamination still presents a risk despite the surface level cleanup efforts." "I think we have a moral obligation to get out of this."
