Residents and business owners
Join United Westside
We email you when something on the Westside needs you in a room or on the record, and not otherwise. It is not a newsletter and there are no dues.
Submitting sends your answers to a Google Sheet that United Westside owns. If the form won't work on your device, email the same details to info@unitedwestside.org.
We'll be in touch when something on the Westside needs you. If you only do one thing this week, make it Tuesday.
What we do with it
We keep the list so that the Westside can be in one place at one time. Whether you live here, work here, or own a business here tells us which fights are actually yours, and who on Council is supposed to be answering to you.
What we won't do
We don't sell the list and we don't rent it. If there is ever a reason to share it with another Westside organization, we will tell you before we do it, not after.
No trackers
This site runs no analytics, no advertising pixels, and no third-party scripts. Nothing here is watching you read it.
Businesses
If you own a business on the Westside, say so and say where. A list of Westside businesses willing to say so publicly is worth having on its own.
Right now
City Council was set to take its final vote on dissolving the Old Colorado City DDA on September 8. It postponed, unanimously, to Tuesday, September 22, at 9 a.m. Here is what to do before then.
Council voted to dissolve the OCC DDA. The ordinance is with Mayor Mobolade, and a veto sends it back to a Council that needs six votes to override.
The OCC DDA is still standing. The next step is the board's Plan of Development and a mill levy back in front of Old Colorado City voters.
City Council voted 5–4 to dissolve the OCC DDA on Sept. 22, and the City published it as law on Oct. 1 without sending it to the Mayor, as the Charter requires. The DDA board is weighing court. Whatever comes next, the Westside needs to be reachable. Here is what to do now.
Council dissolved the OCC DDA. What comes next gets decided by the people who stay in the room.
