"Denver, neighbors agree to chip in for High Line Canal project"
August 9, 2016 By JON MURRAY - The Denver Post

I've spent countless hours enjoying the High Line Canal. This area I'm especially familiar with as there was a small off-the-beaten-roadway where about a dozen cars could park. The path through Cherry Hills Village became a favorite for taking a companion or friend-in-need where you could just walk along at whatever the desired pace and laugh or cry depending on the need.

The High Line Canal Conservancy has been created to preserve and enhance the trail and to connect communities. Would you believe that it's the non-ideological efforts of people and communities that gets the best stuff done?

I love the High Line Canal! What a great asset for South Denver.

It is a shame that they don't run water through the canal at all anymore. It was nice to walk alongside the water. A lot of the trees seem to be suffering from the lack of water. The canal seems a bit less lush than it once was.
