Episode Details

Donnelly City Council just approved a massive 22-acre development along Boulder Creek — 68 townhomes, 20 apartments, and 14 cabins — clearing the way for developer Joe Critchfield to begin construction, though he’s unsure if it’ll start this year or 2027. The approval is still subject to a 14-day challenge window, and neighbors, who’ve been fighting this for months, remain unconvinced — even after the plan shifted to include more homeownership. A lawsuit over a previous version, led by the mayor herself (who lives nearby), didn’t deter opposition. The main concern? Traffic on Eld Lane, which the developer promises to upgrade with full funding — but a traffic study projects over 700 extra daily car trips, and locals doubt the fixes will be enough.
