Boulder Buzz: Transportation Updates, Housing Caps, and Community Connections

  • Resumen

  • Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 29th. We are waking up to a cool spring morning here in Boulder, and there is plenty happening around town to keep you in the know and on the go.

    Let’s kick things off with an update on transportation in our area. The CO 119 Safety, Mobility, and Bikeway Improvements Project continues, so if you’re traveling between Boulder and Longmont, keep an eye out for shifting traffic patterns and possible delays. You can subscribe for construction updates through CDOT to help you plan your route and avoid any unexpected detours. Construction projects like this are all about making our roads safer and more accessible, especially for those who bike or use public transit. Today also marks the highly anticipated Colorado Transportation Symposium downtown in Denver, bringing together leaders in mobility and access—so expect some extra buzz among local officials and advocates. If you rely on public transportation or want to weigh in on the future of how Boulder moves, now is a great time to get involved in those conversations.

    Shifting gears to local government news, Boulder County recently set a new cap on home sizes, limiting new builds to 4,501 square feet after a hotly debated 2 to 1 vote. This move is aimed at curbing sprawling developments and maintaining that unique Boulder character, while also fueling discussions on housing affordability and local conservation efforts.

    For those interested in giving back or getting more connected with the community, Boulder County Parks and Open Space is always looking for volunteers. Spring brings opportunities to support local trails, participate in conservation programs, or even join a community photoshoot putting real faces to the people who help keep Boulder beautiful.

    Looking for things to do? The local culinary calendar is packed, with food-focused events running through May 22nd—perfect for foodies or anyone looking to try something new. Music fans can catch live concerts through the end of the month, and, just in case you needed a reminder, you can still fish for free in Boulder—with a few minor restrictions, so be sure to check the latest guidelines before heading out with your rod and reel.

    As we look ahead, mark your calendar for the Cinco de Mayo Festival in Longmont this Saturday at Roosevelt Park. It promises music, food, and festivities for the whole family. And if you’re looking for professional opportunities, summer jobs with the Boulder County Youth Corps are still open, offering teens a chance to earn and learn outdoors.

    That wraps up today’s local frequency. Boulder is buzzing with energy, from major infrastructure improvements to new rules shaping the community’s future, and a packed calendar of events for everyone. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
