Lakewood is updating the City’s Comprehensive Plan and we want to hear from you!

The Comprehensive Plan is an important citywide tool that defines the vision, goals and priorities for Lakewood over next 10-15 years. The Plan will be used by staff, City Council, Planning Commission and other boards and commissions to inform decisions about land use, housing, transportation, climate action, parks, public health, equity and more in Lakewood.

Throughout 2024, we will be discussing what our vision and values are for Lakewood and what challenges we need to address moving forward so that we and future generations can continue to enjoy our community and thrive. Read more about the planning process.

To create an inclusive and welcoming engagement process, we will be hosting two open house events – one in English and one in Spanish.

    Thank you to all who took the survey and for those who have been involved in community conversations so far. We've heard from many Lakewood residents and are looking forward to hearing from you all over the next few months.

    Since January 2024, we have:

    • Mailed 85,000+ postcards in Looking@Lakewood
    • Received ~2,000 survey responses
    • Attended 10 community meetings and events
    • Spoken with 300+ community members at meetings and events

    What we have heard from you so far

    Through the survey and community conversations, we've heard from many residents about what they love about Lakewood and what can be improved. Many residents have shared that they love Lakewood's proximity to the mountains, access to beautiful parks and open space, and community (including friends and family). We’ve also heard your concerns about homelessness, public safety, air quality, safer transportation infrastructure, housing, and affordability.

    What’s coming in the next few months?

    • This spring we will be transitioning the focus from visioning and issue identification into problem-solving and brainstorming solutions.
    • As part of the next phase, Advisory Groups will be formed to brainstorm solutions to the concerns and challenges the community identified through the survey and other engagement activities during the first phase. An application to participate on the Advisory Groups will be available this spring and all interested community members are encouraged to apply. More details about the Advisory Groups and the application process will be available later this month.

    We will be starting to send monthly newsletter updates, so be sure to sign up if you haven't already.

    One of the first big ways to participate is by answering a four question survey to help us identify our shared values and vision for Lakewood’s future and the important topics we need to address in the updated Plan. The survey will be posted on this website this month and will be open until Feb. 29.
