Hello, and THANK YOU to everyone who has joined our petition opposing the destruction of El Rancho and construction of a QuikTrip truck stop in its place. We have almost 700 signatures (you) and over 400 comments from the Evergreen community, foothills, and West Metro area, in addition to several from farther away.

As the County's first review of the pre-application will likely conclude next week, we are planning to send the petition to QuikTrip this coming week, as well. The petition will remain open to collect signatures for future submission to Jefferson County, but for now we are aiming at the root of the question: QuikTrip.

We know that there are still neighbors who are not aware of what is proposed on Evergreen's doorstep. So that the community voice is loud and clear, I'm writing today to ask that you talk to your neighbors, forward to friends, and help spread the word about the proposed development that would rob Evergreen of an irreplaceable historical asset, taint our scenic corridor, and burden the everyday life of our community with traffic, noise, and light pollution concentrated on US 40.

Here is the link to the petition:

We will keep you updated on this effort.
Thank you again, from the Save El Rancho Campaign
