Oppose the "Denverization" of Colorado Springs with Skyscrapers

We, the undersigned citizens of Colorado Springs, strongly OPPOSE changing the current Downtown Action Plan to allow High-rise Skyscraper type buildings over the 14 stories currently allowed to be built in the Downtown core area. We OPPOSE the current plans in development for the 24 Story Cooper Tower at the corner of East Kiowa Street and North Nevada Ave. We further OPPOSE the current plans for the 20 story Pikes Peak Place skyscraper at the corner of East Pikes Peak Ave. and North Nevada Ave.

We believe that the unique character, history, and NATURAL skyline of Colorado Springs MUST be preserved through intelligent planning and design that considers proper scope and scale along with the composition of surrounding neighborhoods. We further believe that the needs of downtown business growth can be accommodated without "Denverizing" the downtown area.
