Mosquito Management Needed in Stapleton

Support Stapleton's urgent need for both immediate and long-term mosquito management strategies to protect the health and well-being of residents.

Why is this important?

Male mosquitos are already swarming the neighborhood, which doesn't bode well for the summer months. Last summer it became excruciatingly clear that there is a need for mosquito population control in Stapleton's parks, open space and water retention areas. This is not only an issue of comfort, but also of protecting the health of our residents. The purpose of this petition is not to prescribe which measures are appropriate (spraying, adding fish to the ecosystems, etc.), but to draw attention to the need for an immediate and long-term solution.
