What's new?

The next stage of BVCP engagement is underway. Please share your thoughts on policy changes to address the community-identified priorities of housing choice and opportunity, natural hazard resilience, and an inclusive, local economy.

This week at City Council

I'll miss this week's meeting as I'm unexpectedly out of town for a funeral. My colleagues have a light agenda on Thursday, with no public hearings.

Get engaged

Join a community-led BVCP workshop on Aug. 19 or share your feedback on changes to landscaping regulation at staff's virtual office hours on Aug. 20.

Community kudos

Thanks to the great work, collaboration, and advocacy of city staff, RTD, and CU Boulder, HOP service has returned to Boulder Junction!

What I'm reading/listening to

The human cost of SNAP cuts, the city's updated homelessness strategy, climate-conscious forest management, and how to resist fascism by building community.

Quote for the month
