The meeting began with introductions and community and organizational updates (see above). Feedback from end-of-meeting surveys at the last CALC meeting revealed that folks want to see more art, gardens, food, lighting, and engagement in neighborhoods. Focus groups and additional surveys showed that folks would like to get updates about similar projects in the future via direct email or social media. Additionally, folks would like to engage in Denver CALC in the future through community-led projects, focus groups, funding opportunities, and interactive workshops. At the end of the meeting, CALC hosted a trivia game through Kahoot quizzing attendees on general Denver transportation trivia.
