The loudest plane I have ever heard just flew over my house (Belleview Park area). I was outside and had earbuds in listening to a podcast, and I had to pause because the plane completely drowned out the sound directly in my ears for long enough that I was missing things. Anyone else see what it was? It was too far away by the time I located it around the trees.

ETA: It was flying northeast, maybe north-northeast, from my area so presumably crossed over a lot more of Englewood after passing over me.

Just wanted to get an overall opinion from everyone. Has anyone noticed changes in water pressure after getting the new meter installed? I did a full basement remodel last year, which included all new water supplies (upsized the old copper to 3/4 pex, new water softener and filtration as well as replacing the old water heater with a tankless setup. Had great water pressure up until the new meter install. Now a toilet flush and the shower/any faucet is half pressure. Never had this problem until new meter. It’s not a big deal ultimately but very fucking annoying.

Has anyone noticed changes or am I connecting dots that are not there!?

UPDATE, OCTOBER 1: About a week after the revelation that Englewood parks and recreation staff spent more than $2,000 of taxpayer money on yard signs urging voters to approve the department’s $41.5 million parks bond in November, the city now says the purchase of the signs was approved by three different department heads — the directors of communications and parks, plus the city attorney. Englewood Herald: https://coloradocommunitymedia.com/2024/10/01/englewood-reveals-three-department-heads-approved-purchase-of-parks-bond-yard-signs/

"Englewood is in the process of retrieving yard signs that urge citizens to approve the city’s $41.5 million parks bond on the fall ballot after discovering that parks and recreation employees, acting without the knowledge of City Manager Shawn Lewis, spent more than $2,000 of taxpayer money on the signs." Englewood Herald: https://coloradocommunitymedia.com/2024/09/24/bond-signs/

“I think we as a government have the responsibility to inform residents about what's on the ballot," Lewis said. "What we don't have the responsibility, nor should we be doing, is advocating for or against an item... We're working to rectify that by making sure that everyone who asked for a sign and received a sign is actually now giving those signs back,” Lewis said. 9News: https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/local-politics/englewoodresidents-return-yard-signs-vote-yes-ballot-issue/73-f71c014a-43d3-4214-b063-3b94bad4d1cc

The city has sent documentation of the expenditure to the outside legal firm of Hoffmann Parker Wilson & Carberry to verify the Englewood City Attorney’s Office finding that the Fair Campaign Practices Act was not violated.

"It does show the slippery slope, right? I think it was a violation of the law because after they passed the ballot issue, they started put the signs up," said Taheri. Taheri added the signs do not have disclaimers on them or any markings about who paid for the signs, which she says is also required by state law.

Jason Park 6:00pm tonight, come grab some produce, trade/share what you have. There is always an abundance so even if you don’t have anything to share we will have plenty to share with you! ❤️

We are new to the area and wondering what everyone is paying for date night sitters. College aged or young professionals picking up side gigs.

Recommendations for massage therapist in Englewood area? Looking for more medical massage rather than relaxing massage.

Are there certain areas homeless hang out in Englewood? Not from the area but looking for our homeless brother that was last known to be there. Hoping to get a general idea of where to start looking.

I got a letter due to my Rx there.

Does anyone know if there’s a coordinated campaign for the parks bond? I’ve seen a bunch of signs around my neighborhood but they seem to be grassroots-based as there’s no official campaign committee listed. No committee leads me to believe this bond effort won’t actually go anywhere…

Hey all,

I just moved here from boulder for work, I start on Monday the 16th and I have today and Friday off. I got settled much faster than I though and am looking for things to do around Englewood these next couple days. Thanks!

Catch me up guys... what ended up happening with the GO bond, the citizen initiatives, and ranked choice voting?

Some may describe our neighborhood as a community in the shadow of Denver. But what if I told you that Englewood has something special. A feature so unique it sets us apart from surrounding areas like Lakewood, Sheridan, or Centennial. And we have had it for over 100 years.

I'm referring to South Broadway. Sure, the road stretches for miles through several neighborhoods and countless intersections. And since it's paving in 1925, people have used the road for shopping, dining, and commuting. So why is it unique and what am I on about?

This main artery into Denver has the potential to transform our shadow town into a unique hub for recreation, business, and an increased sense of community, while further enhancing development. And how? Bicycles.

Yes, bicycles. But allow me to elaborate. South Broadway in Englewood sees thousands of commuters travel through our community on a daily basis. Starting at the north near Dartmouth and to the south at Belleview. Commuters from outside Englewood travel through without any intention of visiting a business, school, healthcare facility or workplace. They just drive through. But why? Because we let them.

Listen here to my crazy proposal. We move to make South Broadway in Englewood, primarily, a bicycle and mass transportation thoroughfare. Not completely eliminating automobile traffic, but restricting it to one lane in either direction. Allowing for bike and RTD lanes, along with better street parking for businesses.

Where will the commuters go? Where they belong, off of surface streets and onto highways and other major arteries leading to/from Denver. The amount of speeders, red-light runners, and daily commuters from other municipalities will surely decrease. And how is this unique? By recreating South Broadway and Englewood into the community it was before 1925, and stepping away from the Cinderella City era of development it could not support.

This is just one man's opinion and surely not the opinion of city council or some (maybe most) Englewood residents. Mostly, an opinion drawn from frustration of red-light runners, speeders, and those traveling through our town, with what sometimes seems as blatant disregard to our community. As well as an enlightened sense of what our community was and could be. Thank you for the opportunity to address you, Englewood. And please stay safe out there.

Did you know the Englewood Walmart is the highest incident of reported crime in Englewood? Walmart is skimping on security and implicitly farming the cost out to publicly-financed police forces. https://theweek.com/articles/644320/why-criminals-flock-walmart

It’s Thursday! Another Garden Share at the Bahai Peace Garden in Jason Park tonight at 6:00pm. Look for a Goth with a Golden Retriever. 🤣

My boyfriend and I woke up in the middle of the night (Sept 4-5) to the sounds of a car being chased by multiple police cars. There were sounds that I thought might be the car but my boyfriend thinks it might have been gunshots. This was heard near Dartmouth and Santa Fe. Anyone know what happened?

I recently bought a new house and moved from Denver to Englewood and need some help understanding the trash services here.

In Denver, I got a quarterly bill from the city for trash and recycling. I never scheduled a pickup, I just had my bins out every Monday morning.

In Englewood, my trash was getting picked up the first few weeks I lived in my home on Wednesdays but the last two weeks it has not been picked up.

Recycling is still getting picked up every other week on Wednesday.

My question is - in contrast to Denver, is this now a separate service I need to be scheduling and managing myself rather than something that happens automatically?

I was confused because the first few weeks my trash was picked up no problem, it only recently stopped.

I am doing some landscaping and will have a small trailer load of dirt and sod to dispose of. Looking for the best / cheapest place to do so. Any landfills, dumps, compost centers worth recommendation?
