Recently, the Stapleton organization S.W.E.E.P (Stapletonians Want Environmental Earnestness Pronto) has caused quite a stir with its complaints about airport debris near one of the Stapleton boroughs. “We were promised green parks all over Stapleton,” says S.W.E.E.P leader Kim Tiedt. “What we got is a bunch of concrete and garbage right in our neighborhood.”
Forrest City President Phil Dargossi fired back. “One of our biggest and most successful campaigns was ‘Less Sub and More Urb’” said Dargossi. If you don’t want the ‘Urb’ move to Highlands Ranch.”
“I think Dargossi’s definition of urban and Stapleton residents’ definition of urban differ significantly,” said Tiedt. “We were thinking houses close together, some street fights, but random broken concrete in areas where there are supposed to be parks? Not what we had in mind.”
Dargossi thinks there can be a peaceful resolution. “Although we disagree that the airport debris is bad for the neighborhood, we are looking at some options for compromise. We are looking into creating ‘urban’ playgrounds with all of the junk. We would probably get rid of the toxic chemical drums, or at least seal them.”
That won’t be enough for S.W.E.E.P. “Until we can actually see prairie dogs thriving like you can in the rest of Stapleton open space, we will not be satisfied,” says Tiedt. SUN is quickly organizing a town hall meeting so that any resident may come and make unrealistic suggestions for a resolution.]]>
