Boulder Local Frequency: Memorial Day, CU Coach Statue, and Vibrant Spring Growth
Published 11 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
Boulder is waking up to another beautiful spring day with impressive views of the Flatirons visible all the way from Louisville this morning. If you're looking to enjoy the outdoors today, you'll be pleased to know that the prescribed burns on Boulder County Open Space lands wrapped up last month, making way for vibrant spring growth across our natural areas.
In local news, Boulder County government offices are back open today after being closed yesterday for Memorial Day. Meanwhile, negotiations for the Boulder County Employees Union have begun after a judge denied a motion to delay the process. The motion had been filed by Boulder County Public Health and Boulder County Housing Authority last month.
Some controversy has emerged around CU Boulder's plans for a bronze statue of former football coach Bill McCartney outside Folsom Field. A Boulder-based LGBTQ rights group is asking the university to reconsider the statue of "Coach Mac," despite his record as the most winning coach in the school's history and leader of the 1990 national championship team.
For transportation, the free Boulder Canyon Extra Bus Service between Nederland and Boulder has been extended through Friday, providing additional options for commuters beyond RTD's regular NB bus route.
Looking for something to do today? The Colfax Writers' Club is meeting at Tattered Cover Book Store, offering a creative outlet for local wordsmiths. If you're more physically inclined, there's a Lunchtime Vinyasa Flow yoga session happening downtown, and Beginning Lindy Hop dance lessons are also available for those looking to learn some new moves.
For food lovers, Boulder County's artisanal sourdough scene continues to thrive, with local bakers providing fresh loaves and treats directly from their home kitchens to yours.
If you're interested in contributing to the community, Boulder County Parks & Open Space has ongoing volunteer opportunities available. It's a great way to connect with nature while making a difference in our shared spaces.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
