Eiber Neighborhood Plan

For more information on the Eiber Neighborhood Plan contact Holly Boehm at 303-987-7507, or e-mail at holboe@lakewood.org.

The Eiber Neighborhood Plan was adopted as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan by City Council in October 2001. The Eiber neighborhood is bounded by Colfax Avenue, Wadsworth Boulevard, 6th Avenue, and Oak Street. This is an older Lakewood neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a unique character. The focus of the Eiber Neighborhood Plan is on maintaining its low-density, single-family residential character, improving the appearance and condition of apartments in the area, and mitigating the impacts of the 13th Avenue West Corridor light rail line.
