A
Welcome
to
inside
Boulder
news,
I'm
Ashley
pro
the
city
of
Boulder
is
studying
design
options
to
improve
travel
on
canyon
boulevard
between
9th
and
17th
streets.
On
april
27th,
you
are
invited
to
help
kick
off
the
conversation
about
how
to
create
a
better
user
experience
for
all
travelers,
whether
it
be
along
or
across
the
corridor.
We'd.
B
Like
Canyon
Boulevard
to
become
more
of
a
place,
you
want
to
come
to
as
well
as
be
able
to
travel
along
and
across
and
better
connect
between
the
downtown
Civic
area
and
University
hilarious.
So
at
the
open
house
will
be
showing
a
conceptual
design
options
and
we
would
like
community
feedback
on
the
options,
as
well
as
the
measures
that
will
be
looking
at
to
evaluate
the
options
as
we
move
towards
a
selected
preferred
option.
A
The
canyon
boulevard,
Complete
Streets
study
open
house
will
take
place
at
boulder
high
school
the
day
after
the
open
house.
All
of
the
information
presented
will
be
available
online
and
there
will
also
be
an
option
to
provide
feedback
by
visiting
builder
transportation
net.
While
this
event
kicks
off
the
community
conversation,
there
will
be
more
opportunities
to
share
your
feedback
in
the
fall
every
five
years.
The
community
works
together
to
update
the
boulder
valley,
comprehensive
plan.
A
C
C
A
Stop
by
the
event
anytime,
between
three
thirty
and
seven
thirty
or
if
you
can
attend,
find
the
same
information
at
Boulder
Valley
comp
plan
net.
There
will
be
more
opportunities
throughout
the
summer
and
fall
to
share
your
ideas
and
participate.
The
University
of
Colorado
Boulder
is
ranked
fifth
in
the
nation
for
graduates
serving
as
Peace
Corps
volunteers.
Currently
there
are
53
alumni
serving
around
the
world,
while
CU
Boulder
has
ranked
very
high
nationally
for
the
past
14
years.
Recent
changes
to
the
application
process
have
made
a
big
difference.
We.
D
Were
really
excited
that
the
number
has
gone
up
so
high.
The
big
thing
that's
changed
in
the
last
few
years
is
the
change
your
application
process.
So
now
people
can
choose
where
they
want
to
go
what
sector
they
want
to
serve
in
and
what
time
they
can
time
when
they
need
to
go.
So
it's
much
more
focused
to
people's
career
path
and
professional
development
as
individuals,
and
it
also
only
takes
about
an
hour
to
get
through
the
application
now
online.
In.
E
Corps
is
very
competitive.
Now
we
have
a
record
number
of
applications,
and
so
it's
very
important
for
applicants
to
make
sure
that
they
are
doing
research
ahead
of
time
and
they
are
crafting
the
best
resume
and
making
sure
they.
They
are
the
most
competitive
for
the
programs
that
they
apply
for
CU.
D
E
Look
for
all
types
of
people,
we
look
for
all
types
of
US
citizens
from
a
multitude
of
backgrounds.
The
majority
of
our
applicants
have
a
college
degree
and
they,
the
majority
of
applicants,
apply
after
they
graduate
from
University.
However,
the
Peace
Corps
community
is
a
very
diverse
community.
We
have
people
who
come
in
mid-career,
we
have
people
who
join
in
retirement.

Each
month
the
boulder
public
library
opens
up
the
canyon
theatre
for
free
performances,
as
part
of
the
library
concert
series
this
week
side
by
side,
dance
company
brought
the
lunchtime
hour
to
life.
F
I
think
dance
is
most
important
in
the
community
because
it
brings
together
different
groups
of
people
dance
stemming
from
so
many
different
cultures.
It's
pretty
much
one
of
the
only
arts
that
we
can
all
share
as
humans,
no
matter
what
whether
you
are
completely
abled,
whether
you're
disabled,
whether
no
matter
what
your
age,
what
your
income,
what
your
class,
but
none
of
that
matters
with
dance.
We
can
all
do
it
one
way
or
another
and
I
think
in
the
community.
That's
what's
most
important
about
it.
I.
D
G
People
to
know
that
their
story
matters
and
that
everyone
has
a
story
that
should
be
heard.
It
develops
me,
it
teaches
me
who
I
am
and
what
I
can
do
and
what
I
need
to
say
and
then,
on
top
of
that,
to
be
a
director
of
a
company
and
provide
that
opportunity
for
other
dancers
and
young
women,
especially
with
backbone.
That's
my
goal
is
to
provide
an
outlet
and
a
space
and
to
keep
creating
it
together
for
us
to
keep
learning
and
growing
together.
H
So
we're
offering
lunchtime
concert
series
throughout
the
year.
Every
third
Tuesday
really
really
different
group
will
be
performing
live
on
the
stage
of
the
canyon
theater.
We
mix
up
genres
so
that
people
can
get
tastes,
can
get
samples
of
all
different
kinds
of
Performing,
Arts
and
all
different
genres
of
music.
A.
H
Lot
of
folks
might
not
be
able
to
come
out
easily
after
dark,
so
it's
a
really
wonderful
time
of
day
to
interact
to
engage
all
the
musicians
that
we
present
often
do
talk,
backs
or
even
a
master
class
following
the
performance.
We
really
see
it
as
a
forum
for
connecting
with
the
audience
connecting
with
the
library
patrons
and
bringing
people
to
the
library
to
experience
just
the
whole
breadth
of
of
what
we
have
to
offer.
A
The
next
free
concert,
looping
Bach,
will
take
place
on
Sunday
May
first
using
electric
violin
and
music
looping
software,
Zachary
keratin
will
involve
the
audience
while
creating
a
composition.
You
can
find
the
full
schedule
of
events
by
visiting
the
library's
website
on
Saturday
April
thirtieth,
the
boulder
police
department
and
the
Drug
Enforcement
Administration
are
taking
back
unwanted
prescription
drugs
from
the
boulder
community,
national.
I
Drug
prescription
take
back
day
is
April
thirtieth.
It
will
be
from
92
to
this
is
a
program
where
we
work
in
partnership
with
the
Drug
Enforcement
Agency
to
take
back
unwanted
prescription
drugs,
whether
they
are
expired
or
no
longer
needed.
It's
extremely
important
that
they
are
properly
disposed
of.
This
is
important
because
it
prevents
prescription
drug
abuse
and
it's
important
for
the
environment.
We
don't
want
unwanted
medications
being
flushed
into
our
water
system
and
causing
unnecessary
pollution.
I
A

event
will
take
place

needles
or
sharps,
their
services

and
anonymous.
No
questions
asked
after
18
months
of
work
and
partnership
with
100
resilient
cities,
a
global
effort
pioneered
by
the
Rockefeller
Foundation,
the
city
of
Boulder,
is
releasing
its
draft
resilience
strategy.
The
strategy
was
developed
through
engaging
with
Boulder
residents,
other
cities
and
consultants
in
the
100
resilient
cities
program.
A
After
exploring
a
wide
variety
of
potential
challenges,
the
draft
resilience
strategy
identifies
three
areas
of
focus,
connect
and
prepare
partner
and
innovate
and
transform
and
integrate.

strategy
was
developed
and
the
next
eps

the
adoption
process.
The
event
