From the City of Edgewater:
Mobility Study
In November 2018, the City of Edgewater selected the consultant team Blue Zones LLC and Community Builders to engage the community in developing a Mobility Plan. This Plan demonstrates the City’s commitment to promoting health and wellness by providing a safe and accommodating bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, while also addressing traffic calming, speed control and safe routes to school.

NEW! City Wide Program Guide: With the unveiling of our new Civic Center, the City of Edgewater will be unveiling its new city-wide program and resource guide, starting in mid-late March 2019. The new guide will be replacing the older, ½ page sized, black and white booklet that went to the public a couple of times a year with primarily just recreation programs. The new 8 ½ x 11 color magazine will incorporate information from all aspects and departments within the City and its partners to better serve and inform the community. The Spring 2019 guide will be available mid-late March through mailings and drop off locations throughout the City. For information or questions about the new city-wide guide, please contact Felica Goett at 720.763.3011 or via email: fgoett@edgewaterco.com
Healthy Vending: Edgewater has brought a “healthy vending” machine in to the Fitness Center and it has been a hit! Visitors coming in to the Civic Center or using the Fitness Center can now rely on healthier options when needing a snack or beverage. Options include organic, gluten free and natural products. Items like Cliff and KIND bars, protein bars, nuts and jerky to drinks made by: La Croix, Blue Sky, V8, Bai, GTS Kombucha and more. All items are affordable and easy to access and located on the 2nd floor of the Civic Center.
SilverSneakers and Silver&Fit: BOTH of these older-adult programs begin today, March 1st. Older adults ages 60+, that are enrolled in a participating insurance program that offers either SilverSneakers or Silver&Fit can begin using their benefits at the Edgewater Fitness Center. For more information or questions, please call 720.763.3011 or stop by and see Felica and Fitness Center Desk staff.
Senior FREE Walk I.D.: The Edgewater Fitness Center offers older adults, ages 60+, a “Senior FREE Walk” I.D. membership for those individuals who DO NOT want to use the weights, cardio, and/or gymnasium but would like to access the indoor track. This I.D. would allow participants to use the indoor track any time during regular business hours and with no charge. Each participant issued a “Senior FREE Walk” membership would simply scan their I.D. when they arrive to begin their visit. If these same patrons eventually wanted to use the other facilities or attend a class, the appropriate fee will be charged at that time. Those patrons bringing a guest with them must have an annual membership, punch pass, pay a drop-in or participate in SilverSneakers/Silver&Fit, if they do not have or qualify for a “Senior FREE Walk” membership. Should a “Senior FREE Walk” patron decide to participate in SilverSneakers, Silver&Fit or decide on purchasing a specific membership package, the indoor track would be accessible as well. For more information about the “Senior FREE Walk” membership, please call the Fitness Center Desk at 720.763.3011 or stop by the Fitness Center Desk on the 2nd floor of the Edgewater Civic Center.
