At the March 12 meeting regarding the building moratorium in downtown Niwot, Boulder County Commissioners were clear that alley access by all parties between the residential area on 3rd Avenue and the commercial area on 2nd Avenue was essential. One of their directives was for land use staff to develop a solution for alley use. Unfortunately for commercial property owners, the first meeting addressing a solution on the matter didn’t satisfy them. The upshot of the April 3 alley meeting with B...

How do you know it’s spring in Colorado? The days have become longer, flower buds are opening and snow is on the ground. After we experience those first few days over 70 degrees, a tense expectation can linger in the air. “OK, when is it going to snow?” It turns out the “bomb cyclone” wasn’t too bad this time. Maybe we can all breathe a sigh of relief? For many of us the slow greening of the land and the awakening of dormant plants in the spring beckons us to get outside. It also happens to...
Another subdivision heard from. Thank you Gary Northup of Gunbarrel Estates for the following submission. “I see the same pothole on Mt Sherman filled year after year.

It has lasted for years. “Why not fix vs (sic) repair the low spot so pothole crews don’t need to come out every year. Isn’t that chea...
