Five Points boosters want to put some soul on Soul Street.
and also began investing in other restaurant projects. But Burkett eventually sued Cobbins, which Five Points business owners say has become a trend in this neighborhood.
It didn't help that after the Clarkson Street businesses finally submitted a common consumption area application to Excise and Licenses, the department sent the application back, saying that it wasn't complete and needed more work. Businesses that want to form such an area in the city must team up to form a promotional association, then apply for both a common consumption area license and an entertainment district designation. Under state law, an entertainment district is capped at 100 acres and must contain no fewer than 20,000 square feet of liquor-licensed establishments.
While Cobbins and others were strategizing about Clarkson, the city was working on developing a small pedestrian plaza in Five Points off 26th Avenue. They were able to combine forces, and the Hancock administration agreed to a plan to shut down that section of Clarkson to traffic so that it could eventually become a drinking and dining area. In June, Soul Street got the city's okay as a communal dining spot.
The city has focused on helping Five Points because of Excise and Licenses' desire to make sure that any neighborhood that was"negatively impacted by the pandemic or historically disenfranchised or marginalized" gets as much support for a common consumption area program as they need, according to Duplechian. Five Points, Denver's historic Black neighborhood that has been a site of gentrification and displacement in recent decades, fit that bill.
