Boulder Updates: Infrastructure, Wildfires, and Cultural Events for February 27, 2025
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, February 27, 2025.
Today, we're kicking off with some important updates on local infrastructure projects. Starting tomorrow, February 28, the Jay Road median between northbound and southbound CO 119/Diagonal Highway will be closed until March 10. This temporary closure is necessary to build a bikeway underpass as part of the CO 119 Safety, Mobility, and Bikeway Improvements Project. This project aims to enhance safety and mobility for all road users, including cyclists.
In other news, the Boulder County Commissioners are actively engaging with the community on various fronts. Recently, they hosted a town hall on wildfire mitigation in Lyons, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in addressing this critical issue. Additionally, the commissioners have been working on updating the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan, which includes initiatives like creating 15-minute neighborhoods. Community members are invited to participate in the first-ever Community Assembly to contribute to this planning process.
For those interested in environmental initiatives, there was a public meeting on February 25 to discuss the compost facility feasibility study. Eco-Cycle provided an update on statewide composting efforts, and county commissioners were in attendance to engage with the community.
On the cultural front, Boulder is buzzing with events. Tonight, you can enjoy the West Pearl Art Walk from 4 to 7 p.m. on West Pearl Street. This inaugural art crawl features stops at The New Local, Smithklein Gallery, and Tad Kline Photography, along with pop-up exhibitions. If you're looking for something more active, join the Thursday Night Social Run at Shoes and Brews in Longmont from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
Looking ahead to March, there's a plethora of events to mark on your calendar. The BOCO Flamenco Spring Festival is coming up on March 4 and 5 at the Dairy Arts Center, featuring music and dance performances. The Subaru WinterFest will take place at Eldora Mountain Resort from March 7 to 9, offering a unique blend of music, mountain lifestyle, and outdoor activities. And, of course, the Boulder International Film Festival is set for March 13 to 16, showcasing films and filmmakers from around the world.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
