Boulder is better when we move with our community in mind. |
We know our community’s vision for Boulder’s future includes easy, sustainable ways to get around town — like bikes, scooters and skateboards!
These smaller-scale travel options — called micromobility — provide more travel choices to more people.
Curious about which wheels go where in the city and how you can help spread the word? Learn how to use micromobility and be good to our planet and good to your neighbors at: BoulderColorado.gov/ShareThePath 🛴🚲
Let's ride together towards a cleaner, greener Boulder!

| Six tips to travel safe this winter |

Ditch pipe maintenance near University Hill |
From December to March, the city will line Anderson Ditch pipes in the University Hill neighborhood to maintain infrastructure. This work is happening now as the ditch isn't used in winter. Travel impacts will be minimal. The lining material is safe and won't affect the ditch water, but it may cause temporary odors while being installed.
Please check Cone Zones for more information on impacts. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this period.
