Program Manager Judy Wolf said the eight-week summer p...

That’s why Boulder County Transportation (BCT) held an open house meeting at the Left Hand Grange on Wednesday, Feb. 10, to discuss two upcoming projects with the Niwot community. Over 20 people filtered into the Grange to hear about two projects—one a culvert replacement at North 83rd Street and Dry Creek Road, and the other, reconstruction of both 83rd Street and Neva Road. The...
