Denver Parks also funded the rehabilitation of the walking trail on the lake perimeter.   As part of this restoration, the original sandstone walls were carefully removed, stockpiled and reset in a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing manner up to the lake edge. 2007 ELECTION RESULTS Turnout Exceeds Expectations   More than 40% of Denver’s active voters participated in the 2007 election - and most of them said yes to increasing property taxes that will build and maintain city infrastructure.
