Focus on implementing plans, such as our comprehensive plan, neighborhood plans and parks master plan to protect and enhance Golden. Support our great public schools and parks facilities. 4) The best way to protect Golden is by implementing the Golden Plan. To do this, we need to tackle the biggest challenge facing Golden: securing our share of the funding to construct the improvements called for in the plan. We should seek opportunities for budget savings and explore the findings of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Golden’s Financial Future look to develop a long-term funding strategy. 5) We should continue and expand the city’s recent efforts to carefully evaluate events to manage and mitigate their negative impacts on traffic, parking and finances. Further, we should work to ensure they meet the goals for events detailed in our Comprehensive Plan: stimulate our economy, improve our quality of life and help residents feel connected to our community.
