DENVER – On Thursday, the Colorado Department of Trasnportation opened a sealed bid auction for a parcel of land in Globeville where some neighbors were hoping to build a park or green space.
The City of Denver submitted a sealed bid for the CDOT-owned part of the property, but Denver Director of Real Estate Lisa Lumley said the city’s bid was below CDOT’s $1.08 million asking price. In a statement to Denver7, a CDOT spokesperson said it is required by state statute to sell excess properties for a fair market value.
“There's a lot of evidence and cool science out there about densely planting, in particular evergreen trees, so that all throughout the year, they're pushing the pollution higher into the air [and] serving as a buffer,” Tafoya said
