Last November, after numerous public meetings and months of planning, Governor Polis unveiled a vision for the Colorado 150 Pedestrian Walkway. This walkway would provide an opportunity for visitors to the State Capitol to enjoy a space that celebrates Colorado's history through art and storytelling while also improving safety and accessibility between the park and the Capitol.

The current survey gives Coloradans the chance to share their opinions on whether or not they support proceeding with the proposed walkway as planned or if they prefer a smaller scale or no walkway at all. Additionally, participants can also provide feedback on other potential ways to celebrate the state's Sesquicentennial such as making improvements to the park or exploring opportunities in other parts of Colorado.

As Colorado approaches its 150th birthday, it is important for all residents to have a say in how this milestone is celebrated. The survey provides an avenue for Coloradans' voices to be heard and ensures that this historic occasion is commemorated in a way that reflects the diversity and inclusivity of the state.
