Residents of West Highland File Lawsuit in District Court

We're Back and ready to rock! Did you think we had disappeared? No way! It's been a long time coming and we are very thankful to all of our supporters for your patience during the preparation for this legal action. It was very important to keep a low profile as the case was being developed, but on April 27, nearly a dozen residents of West Highland filed suit in Denver District Court, requesting judicial review of the flawed zoning near Highland Square.

After months of preparation and consulting some of the biggest names in land use law, we are confident of the merits of our case. But fighting City Hall won’t be cheap. We can’t do it without your help!

No High Rises in West Highland

is a neighborhood group comprised of home owners, renters, and businesses who call the West Highland neighborhood their home. We have organized to help ensure the historical character and the state-of-health of our diverse business base that is uniquely West Highland is not jeopardized by projects that do not share the neighborhood’s values of respectful and intelligent development. Our goal is to provide a clear voice for our constituents with our elected officials and all developers who hope to also call West Highland’s their neighborhood.

The main goal of this community initiative is to educate and inform our neighbors about the proposed demolition of the historic structures and subsequent high-rise development near 32nd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard. We hope that an increased sense of urgency will lead to a more personal involvement in this matter. Our hope is to create a better community and a better place for us to live here in West Highland through intelligent growth and planning.
