Description
This week on Inside Boulder News: City Council pauses development of more student housing in the University Hill commercial district; OSMP begins work on the Chautauqua Meadows Restoration project; and city employees get hosed down to support the families of fallen police officers.
A
Welcome
to
inside
builder
news
I'm
Ashley
pro
Boulder
City
Council
has
hit
the
pause
button
on
developing
more
student
housing
within
the
commercial
core
of
University
Hill.
The
recently
approved
University
Hill
moratorium
will
give
Boulder
seven
months
to
study
the
best
ways
to
create
a
flourishing
commercial
district
that
appeals
to
the
entire
community.
Our.
B
Concern
is
that
we've
been
seeing
a
lot
more
interest
in
creating
a
lot
more
student
oriented
housing
in
the
commercial
district.
That's
raised
some
concerns
about
what
the
impact
might
be
long-term
on.
The
viability
of
the
district
has
a
place
that
serves
not
only
students
but
the
larger
community.
So
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
over
the
next
few
months
is
talking
with
the
community
with
the
property
owners
here
with
the
students
with
the
neighbors
around
and
saying.
Okay,
what's
our
vision,
we
have
a
vision
in
the
comp
plan.
B
A
University
held
moratorium
will
be
in
place
until
March
18
2015
stay
tuned
to
inside
Boulder
news
for
upcoming
opportunities
to
join
in
on
the
conversation,
open
space
and
mountain
parks
began
work
on
the
Chautauqua
meadow
restoration
project
this
week
in
2011,
City
Council
and
the
community
identified
the
project
as
a
priority
and
the
West
trail
study
area
plan.
Crews
are
utilizing
several
techniques
to
make
the
trails
in
the
Chautauqua
meadow
more
sustainable.
Some.
C
Of
the
reroutes
that
we're
doing
are
giving
us
more
sustainable
trail
grades,
so
the
trails
that
run
straight
up
a
hill.
We
are
rerouting
so
that
they
go
up
a
hill
at
a
less
steep
grade
so
that
they
can
shed
water
and
prevent
soil
erosion
which
ultimately
results
in
damage
to
the
trail
in
to
the
meadow
environment
as
well
too.
So
we
are
also
doing
some
regrading
of
trails
that
are
staying
in
the
same
place
where
they
are,
and
that
involves
kind
of
giving
them
some
undulation.
C
Some
change
in
grade,
which
gives
us
low
points
to
drain
water
off
of
and
the
third
major
thing
that
we're
doing
is
we're
surfacing
trails
within
Chautauqua
meadow
with
with
the
product
called
crusher
finds,
which
is
basically
a
crushed
rock.
A
crushed,
gravel
type
of
product
that
allows
trails
in
areas
like
this
that
that
tend
to
get
really
muddy.
Those
crusher
finds
are
a
much
better
trail.
So
if
then
kind
of
the
native
soil
that
exists
in
chautauqua
meadow
and
so
things
won't
get
as
muddy,
things
won't
be
as
susceptible
to
erosion.
Work.
A
On
the
meadow
will
be
done
from
eight
to
five
monday
through
friday
until
december,
depending
on
whether
phase
two
of
the
project
will
begin
in
2015
and
is
expected
to
be
completed
next
year.
Since
1996,
the
boulder
public
library
has
offered
free
classes
to
the
community
designed
to
facilitate
conversations
in
american
english
and
how
people
become
American
citizens.
The
programs
are
offered
to
anyone
over
the
age
of
18.
My.
D
Focus
is
first
and
foremost
as
adults,
because
you
want
them
to
continue
to
lead
their
families
and
with
immigrant
families.
You
will
see
some
of
the
family
interaction
become
somehow
insulting
to
the
adults
when
they
have
to
depend
on
a
younger
person
or
six
year
old
to
translate
for
them.
The
structure
of
the
family
becomes
different,
so
I
want
part
of
what
we
do
is
to
empower
the
adults
to
keep
leading
the.
E
So
personally,
rewarding
and
I
feel
so
grateful
to
have
all
these
people
coming
into
our
community
and
bringing
their
perspectives
and
their
values
and
in
the
classes
we
all
open
up
each
other's
minds
with
different
perspectives
from
different
countries,
and
it's
a
joy
to
see
the
relationships
that
everybody
builds
and
it's
a
joy
to
help
bring
them
into
the
community
and
into
our
culture.
My.
F
Basic
belief
in
life
is
that
we
have
to
give
back
we're
so
blessed
with
so
many
things
we
have
and
I
feel,
but
I
have
to
get
back
to
the
world
and
by
helping
people
become
a
citizen.
I
help
them
understand
our
country
and
I
help
them
become
comfortable
in
our
culture
as
they
become
a
new
citizen.
You
touch
lives
in
a
way
that
you
can't
touch
a
life
in
any
other
way,
but
by
what
we
do
in
the
library
when.
G
It's
fun
to
see
how
the
decay
that
are
my
students,
how
responsible
they
are
with
assignments,
even
though
it's
a
free
class
and
it's
just
fun
to
do
it,
I
love
helping
the
community
of
Boulder
and
see
their
opinions
and
stuff
like
that.
We've
all
learned,
they
teach
me
sometimes
English
and
I-
do
teach
them
spanish
at
the
young.
We
all
learn.
A
Multi
cultural
outreach
classes
are
ongoing
and
free
for
more
information
about
upcoming
events
and
available
services
visit
Boulder
public
library,
org,
there's
been
a
lot
of
people,
dumping
buckets
of
cold
water
on
their
heads
in
the
name
of
raising
money
for
a
good
cause.
Lately
the
city
of
Boulder
took
it
one
step
further
this
week
in
response
to
a
challenge
from
the
north
glen
police
department.
H
A
I
A
J
Community
actually
celebrated
two
spectrums
of
a
biking,
one.
Obviously,
the
pro
challenge
pro
athletes
from
around
the
country
and
some
that
actually
live
and
train
here
in
Boulder,
but
the
other
really
wonderful
thing
that
actually
happened
in
Boulder
is
that
we
actually
celebrated
these
wonderful
kids
actually
get
on
the
same
course
as
the
athletes.
The
kids
challenge
had
over
400
kids
participating
in
the
event
this
year,
and
we
were
excited
that
ages,
11
through
up
to
11
years
old,
actually
participated,
and
it
was
a
really
a
fun
fun
time
for
everyone,
organizers,.
A
Hope
to
continue
the
kids
challenge
in
the
years
to
come.
The
event
raised
over
fifteen
hundred
dollars
to
benefit
community
cycles
you're
invited
to
share
your
pictures
from
the
event

Every
year,
the
boulder
Parks
and
Recreation
staff
plant
thousands
of
new
tulip
bulbs
on
the
Pearl
Street
Mall
after
the
tulips
bloom
each
spring
staff
members
dig
them
up,
replace
them
with
summer
plantings
and
save
them
for
the
annual
tulip
bulb
giveaway
each
August,
since
2006
over
50,000
bulbs
have
been
given
away.
Oh
I.
K
L
M
I
am
now
living
in
subsidized
housing
for
the
elderly,
Boulder
housing,
partners,
project
and
I'm,
the
resident
gardener,
and
it's
to
me
tremendous
fun
because
reclaiming
minds
is
hard
work,
big
work,
reclaiming
a
garden
is
fabulous
and
manageable.
The
place
when
I
first
moved
in
only
had
like
12
tulips.
We
now
have
over
300
weave
the
last
two
years,
had
senior
citizens
and
wheelchairs
at
the
front
of
the
line
going
through
and
we've
gotten,
probably
over
two
or
three
hundred
tulips
one
bag.
At
a
time
for
a
giveaway,
it's
fun
about
these
bags
of
tulips.
M
You
don't
know
what
they
are
and
I've
been
fortunate
to
use
my
scientific
mind
and
plant
them
in
patterns
and
I've
this
second
year,
I
put
them
around
colors
that,
were
you,
know
together,
and
so
it's
actually
it's
become
fabulous.
These
bags
are
like
little
surprises.
You
know
so.
I
have
the
special
surprise
corner
for
them.
If.
