GHTM Business District report

Posted on: December 7th, 2025

Open letter to Gold Hill Residents

In August 2025 a sub committee of the Town Meeting was created called Business District Committee. This group was formed as a result of concerns re: increased noise, parking & people patronizing both major business on Main St in Gold Hill .

“The intent of the Business District Committee is to find creative solutions to some of the growing pains associated with business within our town: noise, congestion, and parking. We are seeking a diverse set of perspectives, personal experiences, and ideas, from neighbors throughout town and the subdivision. This will be a space for constructive feedback and well-intentioned suggestions.  This Committee is formed in a good faith effort for community-driven collaboration, resulting in some helpful recommendations to our business leaders”. The committee is chaired by Kelly Veit Town Meeting Chair.

Items & action lines discussed to date:

  1. Parking with regards to emergency vehicles- Rich Caudill’s “report” here.
  2. Noise- Boulder County ordinance link here https://assets.bouldercounty.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ordinance-noise.pdf. The Committee would like to discuss with Business leaders, their current or planned efforts to monitor noise according to these guidelines.
  3. Crowd Control, Event Frequency and Volume of people patronizing businesses:
    1. Given parking limitations, the Committee wonders about enforcement of County managed parking restrictions, signage, and enforcement. Recently, the town of Georgetown implemented a special plan to handle the 30k cars gridlocking the town in September of 2025 ( Town leaders put a traffic plan in place for the following weekends, including using barriers on residential streets and implementing a one-way traffic flow to help keep cars moving.)
    2. The Committee seeks input, creative ideas, and collaboration around concerns of crowd and capacity overflow from the Businesses. This includes looking at event frequency.

 

We are currently seeking input  or representation from the Gold Hill Store or the Gold Hill Inn. We cannot move forward with any solutions without the help, collaboration and input from these businesses.

Committee also welcomes input from all Gold Hill Residents. Please submit comments or suggestions to Kelly  ghtownmeeting@nullgmail.com

 

** I would like this letter to be signed & signed off by the Town Meeting. so it must ultimately  be discussed and SIGNED by that entity.
