Goldsmith Gulch flows through southeast Denver, where it plays a key role in managing stormwater. Areas like Bible Park and Iliff Stormwater Basin have long helped reduce flooding, but challenges remain—especially near Iliff Avenue, where floodwaters can overtop the road and impact nearby properties.

Guided by recent planning efforts such as the Near Southeast Area Plan (2023) and Goldsmith Gulch Major Drainageway Plan (2020), this project will explore upgrades to improve stormwater detention, enhance park spaces, and strengthen trail connections. It will also evaluate the potential to open sections of the downstream segment to improve safety, flow, and community access. This concept design phase will take place over approximately 24 months, with future phases to follow.
