Convention lockdown update
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
A convention official has told me that the security zone is still under development and nothing has been decided yet. They assured me that the final plan would cause as little disruption to the city as possible.
This confirms Mayor Hickenlooper’s office’s belief that the story was inaccurate.
From Saturday’s Rocky Mountain News
But plans to lock down a mile-wide radius around the center for security reasons could wreak havoc with busing and activities at nearby schools. Two dozen DPS schools are located within a mile and a half of the Pepsi Center, and the Emily Griffith Opportunity School is within a couple of blocks.
This is certainly good news for anybody that’s going to be in Denver next summer.
