THE GOVERNOR'S  NEWSLETTER GOVERNOR'S WEBSITE PRESS RELEASES STATE JOB BOARD COLORADO BILL TRACKER July 16, 2025 Celebrating Colorado’s 150th Birthday: Announcing a Survey to Hear From Coloradans on Proposed Pedestrian Walkway at State Capitol  To celebrate Colorado’s 150th birthday next year in 2026, today, I want five minutes of your time to fill out a new survey to capture Coloradans’ thoughts about the best way to celebrate the occasion. This survey allows Coloradans to make our voices heard, and share thoughts and opinions on how to celebrate Colorado’s Sesquicentennial.  Colorado’s Sesquicentennial celebration is for every Coloradan, and I believe it is important that Coloradans have a say in how the state celebrates this historic milestone, or if we celebrate it at all. Coloradans who want to make their voices heard should complete a survey response before July 21st.  In November, after many public meetings and months of planning, we announced the vision for a Colorado 150 Pedestrian Walkway, an opportunity for Coloradans who visit the Capitol to enjoy a space that celebrates Colorado’s history through art and storytelling, while improving safety and increasing accessibility between Lincoln Veterans Park and the Capitol. This historic space is, and always will be, for everyone, and so I think it's important that Coloradans are able to voice our opinions about the space and how it can be best used by the most people The survey provides an opportunity for Coloradans to share opinions on if the state should proceed with the proposed walkway as planned or at a smaller scale, if the state should focus instead on making improvements to the park without a walkway, if the state should explore other  opportunities to celebrate the state’s art, culture and history in other parts of the state, or if Coloradans want to celebrate the state’s Sesquicentennial at all.
