"It's really bringing our communities out to a street to bike, walk, stroll, linger, hang out in a place. We really want the event to support our local businesses and to help people be active and have a place to recreate safely in the street," said Andrew Iltis, vice president of planning and community impact with the Downtown Denver Partnership.
"Imagine what we do for Taste of Colorado, but just expanded over the 3.5 mile corridor," said Iltis."It's so long, and we're at the end of the route," said Jameson McCloud, general manager at The Headspace."Effectively, it's closing us down, and we're at the end of the line.
"It is the duty of the Broadway Merchants Association to convey the thoughts and feelings of more than 100 vibrant and diverse small businesses in our community. When the Association discovered the Viva Streets event from a recent Denverite article we were concerned it might negatively affect small businesses. Accordingly, The Association asked for opinions from business owners regarding the Viva Streets event proposed for this summer.
"When I told him that this would affect my business, he basically said it was set in stone and there was nothing we can do," Gutierrez said of a recent meeting between DDP and South Broadway businesses.
