Landmarks Board Memo, 9 City of Boulder correspondence
City of Boulder prepared the Civic Area Master Plan with recommendations to improve civic spaces between 6th Street and 14th Street bordered by Arapahoe Street and Canyon Boulevard to the north and south. During this public process community support called for improvements to increase activation around the Bandshell and in Central Park. JVA performed feasibility study of the Bandshell. Research conducted to determine if the Bandshell should be relocated, determining that relocating the structure would jeopardize its physical integrity. The railroad tracks and fence associated with the trains removed from the Park. Friends of the Bandshell successfully nominated the Bandshell for the Colorado Preservation Inc. (CPI)'s Endangered Places List due to urgencies associated with proposed moving of the Bandshell and/or removal of seating through the Civic Area planning process.

Boulder Landmarks Board recommended amending the designation boundary to include all of Block 13. City Council denied the boundary expansion, alternately of considering the Bandshell and Central Park as part of a potential larger historic district.
