[cobirds] Barn Swallows & the City Park Bandstand Fire

Regarding the fire-destroyed Denver City Park bandstand: I've asked several organizations to please consider demolishing the structure as soon as possible—hopefully before the Barn Swallows return and build their nests under the structure. They usually start arriving in late April. They will likely build nests regardless of the conditions. It would be sad to demolish the building when it has active nests. Their numbers in City Park are in the hundreds. 

I wrote on April 8 to: 

- City Park Friends and Neighbors
- City Park Alliance
- Denver Parks & Rec
- Denver City Council Dist 9 Darrell Watson directly. Plus the two at-large members, also directly.  

And have not received a single acknowledgment, other than a ticket number autogenerated by denvergov. 

I will keep at it, but if you have any thoughts or suggestions about this concern, please reply. 

Thanks.
