- The Commerce City Council is scheduled to convene at 6 p.m. this evening. The agenda for the March regular meeting of the council includes an item approving the creation of a community garden on the large property at Washington Street and Bonham Alley. The three-acre lot just north of the downtown square is owned by the city. It’s the current site of the Commerce Farmer’s Market. The resolution on this evening’s agenda would give the name “Goshen Gardens” to the project and establish governing and operating processes for the proposed resource.
