Denver's Cherry Creek air quality reflects the upscale retail and residential neighbourhood adjacent to the Cherry Creek Trail, with vehicle traffic on Colorado Boulevard and the surrounding affluent commercial character contributing local sources. The Cherry Creek greenbelt provides linear ventilation, while the Rocky Mountain westerly airflows generally provide clean background air and Cherry Creek generally maintains among Denver's more moderate inner suburban neighbourhood air quality environments throughout the year.
