Contributed by: DR. SEAN REIF D.C. on 4/12/2007

There seems to be a NEW MOOD in Northglenn. Increasingly citizens are asking what Urban Growth will add to the quality of their lives. We are questioning the way relatively unconstrained, piecemeal urbanization is changing our community and we are questioning the traditional process of Government, and the Marketplace, which have guided development in the past. We are measuring NEW DEVELOPMENT by the extent to which ENVIRONMENTAL criteria are satisfied: in terms of additional traffic, pollution of air & water, erosion of the soil, and disrupting the scenic beauty.

The mood is both optimistic in its expectations of the future, and pessimistic and untrusting about the inevitable change. The repeated questioning of what was ONCE generally unquestioned is so widespread that it seems to us to signal a remarkable CHANGE in attitudes in the City.
