\t\t\t\t\"dump-on-26th\"<\/a>The 26th Ave. Park remains unfinished, so Forest City decided to partner with Denver Waste Management for temporary use of the area. \u201cWe have been in discussions with Denver Waste Management for about six months now,\u201d said Forest City spokesperson Janelle Ayers. \u201cWe feel this will be a strong relationship for both parties, and we look forward to working with Denver Waste management in the coming years.\u201d\nForest City has essentially decided to allow the 26th Ave. Park area to be used as a temporary overload dumping site. \u201cWe are always struggling to find holding sites for our overload,\u201d said Waste Management CEO David Steiner. \u201cThe location and area is perfect for us,\u201d said Steiner. \u201cWe can drop 10 to 15 truckloads there at the site, and come back later to pick up what we dropped. It is a perfect scenario on our end.\u201d Ayers says there aren\u2019t any foreseeable drawbacks to the situation. \u201cThe people in that area of Eastbridge are currently looking at Aurora. Now, there will be giant piles of trash. What\u2019s the difference, really?\u201d\nTo 26th Ave. and Eastbridge residents, the difference is massive. \u201cIt\u2019s one thing to have an empty weed and rodent-ridden park behind you,\u201d says 26th Ave. resident Jennifer Retzlaff. \u201cBut another thing to have a huge trash pile behind your house. I am sure I am missing something, but this seems to be the stupidest thing Forest City has done so far.\u201d Eastbridge resident Bo Clark agrees. \u201cThis is unreal,\u201d says Clark. \u201cCan they do this? I am shocked that somehow this made it through the channels to be legal in some way. SUN or the MCA can\u2019t step in? Wow. Just, wow.\u201d\nAyers says in the end this is a win for the community. \u201cWe are leasing the space out at a considerable profit. We are hoping to use this money to eventually finish the park we promised a decade ago. Of course, there is always a chance those funds could get shifted, but right now, we are earmarking those funds for the 26th Ave. Park completion.\u201d Ayers says the current agreement with Waste Management is for eight years. The park has been a dump for a decade, why not make it official for another eight.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
