The announcement that the Downtown Denver Partnership may create a private security force for the 16th Street Mall in response to a recent series of violent incidents didn’t prompt a uniform reaction among our readers.
Among the disagreements: Whether the situation on the mall is truly dangerous or exaggerated and overblown.
The following commenter takes the former position and bases his observations on his status as a native of the area.
Here’s his take.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $21,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.

Yeah, it’s gotten worse over the past 15 yrs…..born and raised here and I don’t feel comfortable taking my son down there or myself for that matter…..unfortunately, it needs cleaned up again, get whoever you need in there to get cleaned out, I want to enjoy it again. I also noticed a lot of empty store fronts…..guess why!!
