Three local Boulder technology experts--two CU researchers and a cybersecurity expert--laid out the case in today's Camera why Boulder should stop using automatic license plate readers (ALPRs). This is as the city considers a new vendor. My view (thread): www.dailycamera.com/2026/07/09/b...

Boulder’s newest multiuse path underpass is a beauty — at 19th and Upland Ave by Creat View Elementary School.

I’m planning to run for re-election to #Boulder City Council. My first term wraps up at the end of 2026. I’m proud we’ve moved forward so much of what I came here for: * better housing and transportation options * safer streets * stronger energy and wildfire codes …

Antisemitism was rising in Boulder long before the June 1 attack. The reality is people who speak out against hate can hesitate when the target is Jews. May the memory of Karen Diamond be a blessing. And may we make it safe to be Jewish in Boulder. council-chronicles.ghost.io/one-year-aft...

I'm Dr. Nicole Speer, a City Councilwoman in #Boulder, Colorado. I hope you will join me in condemning today's horrific act of hate in our community. Read my full statement here: council-chronicles.ghost.io/on-the-viole...

A total of 13 states have tied or set all-time March heat records over the period Mar. 18-21, and one or more stations in Arizona and California have tied or broken the previous all-time U.S. heat record of 108°F each of those four days. This heatwave is in a class of its own historically!

Mental heat moved today in the Central States with 101F in Kansas,99 in Nebraska,97 in South Dakota,Missouri and Iowa (State record trashed by 5F !) and 90 in Wyoming. Colorado also 95F ,1F from its record. 102F in Oklahoma Updated list of new March State records in 2026

On my very first meeting as a city councilor in Dec 2023, we approved intersection traffic cameras for speeding. I don’t like fines. I’m skeptical of “smart” transportation tech. I worry about surveillance. But dangerous driving is one of the top killers in the US, and inhospitable streets are…

Just learned that 11-24% of people who had their bikes stolen stop riding!!! Strong rationale for cities to provide/require secure bike parking as part of their mode shift efforts. www.ecf.com/media/resour... ddd.uab.cat/pub/trerecpr...

The CO 7 Coalition will deliver a people-first transportation corridor with regional Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), a regional bikeway, pedestrian improvements, safety improvements, and first/last-mile connections for ~30 miles from Brighton to downtown #Boulder.

Following local government is hard. The meetings and processes are just as wonky as at higher levels of government. But local agencies have fewer resources to communicate and serious local policy rarely makes the news. www.ryanwithboulder.com/campaigns/vi...

Ryan’s Review, a Boulder City Council Update

An update from Ryan Schuchard on Boulder City Council

Nearly 25% of teachers in the Boulder Valley School District will stay home today to join the call to end the reign of terror from ICE. Our kids will join them. Thank you BVSD and teachers for standing up. And to the families participating who have the means to do so. #ICEOUT

Power outages cost more than we tend to think. Businesses close, transportation systems and supply chains stall, refrigerated goods and medicines spoil, and residents’ health, safety, and wellbeing suffer. Important new findings from @rockymtninst.bsky.social. rmi.org/power-outage...

Hold on my dear ones, here comes the dawn. That’s what hundreds of people came together in Boulder today to sing in an interfaith prayer walk. It was a vigil for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. It was a vigil for the dozens of others who have died in dealings with ICE,…

A 2026 city council policy/programs update for Boulder, CO: One of the main ways Boulder city council legislates is by meeting once every 2 years to create a short list of workplan priorities. For 2026 it’s only a 1-year process as we transition to even year elections (good for turnout, yay!).

Nextdoor is right: #Boulder should make bicycle security a priority. One crucial step is to make it possible for riders to follow the city's own (and other experts' advice)—to lock your frame to a sturdy anchor. To do that, we need an effort to retire the many racks around town that...

The last week in #Boulder — with multiple power outages, destructive winds, extreme fire danger, and continued lacking useful explanations from Xcel — was brutal. Many residents, orgs, and businesses have suffered and are still suffering. Much work is ahead. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

Hurricane-force winds return to the Boulder area in Colorado, uprooting trees and damaging roofs

On Friday hurricane-force winds returned to the Boulder area. It was just two days after a different wind event battered the Colorado city.

IMPORTANT: NWS Boulder just issued a rare "Particularly Dangerous Situation" (PDS) Fire Weather Warning for Boulder, Hwy 93, and the Boulder + northern JeffCo foothills for tomorrow. Winds: 85-110 mph. Bone dry. This is a Fire Weather Warning with an exclamation point. #COwx

As expected, the Red Flag Warning on Friday has been given the Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) distinction by the National Weather Service for EXTREME FIRE DANGER in/near the Boulder and Jefferson County Foothills. Do not sleep on the fire risk Friday 5AM-Midnight! #COWX

Re. High winds and power down in #Boulder: We are experiencing a variety of impacts, including additional power outages and some minor injuries, from this wind event. The single best place for information is the ODM website at boulderodm.gov www.dailycamera.com/2025/12/17/x...

What happened in Bondi is horrifying and hits hard in Boulder. To target Jewish families celebrating Hanukkah is an act of hate that must be named clearly and rejected completely. My heart is with the victims, their loved ones, and the Jewish community in Australia, in Boulder, and worldwide.
