Heatwaves, BRT Updates, Circular Economy, and More: Your Boulder Local Roundup
Published 10 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Tuesday, June 24, 2025. If you’re just tuning in, get ready for a jam-packed day full of local updates, useful info, and a peek at the pulse of our city.
First, a heads-up from Boulder County Public Health: we’re entering another stretch of extreme heat this week, so it’s important to stay hydrated, check on your neighbors, and go easy on outdoor activities if you can. Cooling centers will be available across Boulder for anyone needing relief, so keep an eye out for updates from the county as the temps rise.
For those interested in the future of regional transportation, RTD will soon host a public webinar about the upcoming Bus Rapid Transit service between Boulder and Longmont along Highway 119. This future BRT line is expected to streamline commutes and offer an eco-friendly transit option between the two cities. Residents are encouraged to get involved, ask questions, and help shape the future of transit in Boulder County.
Meanwhile, construction projects are making waves—literally and figuratively. CDOT’s CO 119 Safety, Mobility, and Bikeway Improvements are ongoing, which could affect your morning ride if you’re a cyclist or commuter along the Diagonal. Expect periodic closures and detours, but the end goal promises safer and more accessible routes for everyone.
In community news, Boulder’s commitment to sustainability continues with the announcement of Circular Economy Fund award winners. Five innovative projects are now funded to boost resource conservation and sustainable business practices—so keep an eye out for new initiatives around town that help reduce waste and foster a greener local economy.
Arts lovers, don’t miss the St. Vrain Watershed Art Contest exhibition, where 12 talented students have been recognized for depicting the beauty of Colorado’s waterways. Their work is both creative and educational, serving as a vivid reminder of Boulder’s natural treasures.
Looking for things to do? The Boulder events calendar is buzzing with everything from live music downtown to local farmers markets and trivia nights. Whether you’re in the mood for a pint, want to catch a festival, or feel like trying a new outdoor yoga class, there’s an event for you. Be sure to check out the latest listings to find something that matches your vibe for the day.
Finally, we want to acknowledge the ongoing legal proceedings following the recent attack at Pearl Street Mall in early June. The suspect has been formally charged with multiple counts in both state and federal court, and the community continues to support those affected as the investigation unfolds.
That’s your local rundown for today. Stay safe in the heat, get out and enjoy the best of Boulder, and remember to support each other as we move forward together. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
