| Boulder awarded $936,000 to extend multi-use path |
US36/28th Street from Fourmile Canyon Creek to Jay Road
|
The path will extend safe, separated infrastructure for people walking, biking and taking local and regional transit.
Planning and design will begin in 2025 when funds are distributed, with construction to follow.
By building a more comfortable and connected network for people to travel, the city aims to achieve its transportation goals to be safe, be equitable, provide travel choices and support clean air.

- An $88 monthly pass for travel anywhere
- A single Discount fare
- Simplified pass programs, bulk purchases and a grant program
- Expansion of the LiVE program and LiVE discounts on Access-a-Ride fares for the first time
Beginning in September 2023, the Zero Fare for Youth pilot will allow youth ages 19 and under to use RTD services and the local HOP bus for free for one year.

Design for Civic Change Fellows Selected |
Our staff were selected for the Center for Urban Pedagogy Design for Civic Change Fellowship! The six-month fellowship will focus on inclusive and equitable engagement to advance equity.
“This fellowship will give us additional and better tools and techniques to consistently and effectively engage with and respond to the mobility needs of historically underrepresented communities,” said Melanie Sloan, who along with fellow transportation planners, Ericka Amador and Daniel Sheeter, will participate in the fellowship.
These tools and techniques will advance the city’s Racial Equity goals and improve equity on transportation projects like the Core Arterial Network initiative.

There’s still time to participate in the Airport Community Conversation! |
Questionnaire available through Aug. 2

We invite you to share your vision for the future of the Boulder Municipal Airport site! Community feedback from earlier this spring has helped lead to four draft scenarios for the future of the airport site.
The community-informed, draft scenarios for the future of the airport site include:
|
- Scenario 1: Existing Airport with Enhanced Maintenance
- Scenario 2: Airport with Aviation Improvements
-
Scenario 3: Airport with Neighborhood Serving Uses and Limited Housing
- Scenario 4: Decommission Airport and Create New Neighborhood
|
Share your feedback via the online questionnaire by Aug. 2.
Over 100 community members also attended the July 18 open house. Input from both the open house and questionnaire will help inform next steps. Learn more on the project webpage.
