Colorado Springs residents are invited to Mayor Yemi Mobolade and Colorado Springs City Council’s 2023 Listening Tour. The seven-stop tour, in partnership with CONO, will gather input from residents to help set the strategic direction of the City.
The tour will start in August and run for six weeks. The tour, which is part of Mayor Yemi’s First 100 Days Blueprint, will include a stop in each of the City’s six City Council districts, and will also include an online listening session.
“To help build the best Colorado Springs possible we need to hear from the residents to better understand what their priorities are for our City,” said Mayor Mobolade. “I believe in listening to each and every voice to help collaborate on innovative solutions and create a united Colorado Springs that meets the needs of its residents. Now is the time to help provide important input to your elected officials and help make a meaningful difference in your community.”
The Listening Tour will feature collaborative discussion groups with other residents and city officials on important issues facing Colorado Springs, including public safety, housing, infrastructure, economic vitality, and other city services, and will be an opportunity for Mayor Mobolade and Colorado Springs City Council to hear concerns and ideas from the community. Residents are encouraged to register in advance at ColoradoSprings.gov/ListeningTour.
