Slow Down Edgewater: Safe Streets Yard Sign Program
A large majority of drivers in Edgewater travel at safe speeds. Our traffic data consistently shows we do not have a widespread speeding problem, but a smaller number of drivers do choose to go too fast. This free program is a tool to raise awareness and help reach those drivers. When several neighbors post friendly slow down signs on the same block, it is a personal reminder that real people live and walk here, and a sign next door lands differently than one from the City.
Homeless Navigator
A new county-wide homeless navigation model was launched in 2020, comprised of six municipal and county-based housing navigators who work directly with persons experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness. The shared navigator serves the cities of Wheat Ridge and Edgewater.
The Homeless Navigator's role is to assist those experiencing a housing crisis, find stable housing and obtain the services and resources needed to maintain that housing. The Homeless Navigator works in partnership with local business communities, constituents, metro-area non-profit providers and government agencies serving the cities of Edgewater and Wheat Ridge. While the Homeless Navigator isn’t able to increase available housing resources, the navigator will help people experiencing homelessness identify solutions to complex health and housing challenges and support those who are seeking a path out of homelessness. However, this is not an emergency, on-call position.
For individuals who are at-risk, already experiencing homelessness or looking for resources and wanting to work towards stable housing, the Homeless Navigator can provide support and assistance.
