In 1969, a group of concerned citizens rallied to fight the proposed conversion of east 11th and 12th Avenues into one-way streets. The citizens' victory over city planners marked the beginning of what is now known as Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods, Inc. or CHUN, one of Denver's oldest and largest neighborhood organizations. CHUN's boundaries exted from 1st to 22nd Avenues, from Broadway to Colorado Boulevard.
CHUN is an organization dedicated to its mission of enhancing the quality of life on Capitol Hill through:
Preserving the Past,
Improving the Present,
Planning for the Future of Capitol Hill
CHUN promotes a sense of neighborliness, improves the physical appearance of the neighborhood, provides a poweful, unified voice, encourages representation and cooperation amoung diverse groups, works on specific neighborhood problems and concerns, promotes a more positive image of the neighborhood and takes actions designed to improve the quality of life on Capitol Hill.
CHUN is a membership organization and actively solicits your involvement in your neighborhood. For more information, please call us at 830-1651.
