A
Welcome

Boulder
news,
I'm
Ashley
pro
the
first
recreational
marijuana
shop
within
city
limits
open
this
week,
Terrapin
Kara
station
began
in
2010
as
a
medical
marijuana
dispensary
in
south
boulder
in
July.
The
business
expanded
opening
a
second
location
on
folsom
and
canyon.
Now
Terrapin
care
station
is
serving
both
the
recreational
and
medical
markets.
They.
B
C
We
transferred
both
of
our
licenses
for
this
store
and
agro
facility,
that's
attached
to
it
on
in
about
a
45
minute
meeting
at
the
licensing
clerk's
office,
and
it
was
contingent
upon
the
state
issuing
the
license.
So
the
licenses
became
effective
today
that
David
the
state
issued
our
our
state.
Your
recreational
marijuana
licenses,
the.
A
City
of
Boulder
will
continue
to
implement
recreational
marijuana
licenses
and
stages.
Existing
medical
marijuana
businesses,
who
would
also
like
to
sell
recreational
marijuana
and
expand
their
business,
can
apply
for
a
license
through
march.
First
applications
for
new
recreational
marijuana

tab
the
first
phase
of
West
pearl
streetscape
improvements
is
underway
over
the
next
six
to
eight
weeks.
D
Is
an
order
to
bring
the
sidewalks
into
with
the
American
Disabilities
Act
the
ad
a
right
now
that
Sidewalk
has
a
slope
to
it,
and
that
makes
it
to
where
it's
not
compliant
with
what
a
DA
with
the
federal
government
expects
for
wheelchairs
and
for
people
with
disabilities.
We'd
really
like
to
encourage
people
to
come
to
the
west
end
during
the
during
the
construction
come
and
look
and
see
the
progress.
That's
being
made.
Look
at
the
changes
visit.
Your
favorite
restaurants
visit
your
favorite
businesses,
it's
so
important.
D
A
Will
be
three
phases
of
streetscape
improvements
covering
seventh
Street
to
eleventh
Street
on
pearl
construction,
for
all
three
phases
will
be
done
by
fall.
Besides
sidewalk
replacements,
you
can
expect
to
see
new
pedestrian
crossings,
curb
extensions
and
tree
replacements.
The
project
is
paid

the
2011
voter-approved
capital

happening

Net
construction
on
the
main
library
renovations
also
began
this
week.
E
F
Really
excited
about
the
quality
of
the
contractor
that
we
have
on
board.
The
city
of
Boulder
was
really
proactive
to
put
together
a
nice
short
list
of
qualified
contractors,
so
I
I
feel
confident.
There's
a
lot
of
hard
work
that
went
into
this
and
it's
fun
to
see
something
manifested
more
than
just
a
rendering
the.
A
First,
phase
of
construction
will
be
done
by
April
phase
two
begins
on
may
first
and
will
renovate
the
second
floor.

Thanks
to
boulders
continued
efforts
in
climate
change
and
greenhouse
gas
reduction.
This
has
been
selected
as
a
finalist
for
a
30
thousand
dollar
grant
from
the
World
Wildlife
Fund
burglars
competing
against
34
cities
worldwide
and
is
one
of
only
three
US
cities.
A
G
Ten
years
of
working
really
hard
on
our
climate
program,
one
of
the
things
that
we
learned
was
you
can't
conserve
your
way
out
of
this
problem.
Conservation
is
extremely
important.
Energy
efficiency
is
really
important,
but
we
have
to
develop
a
large
body
of
new
fossil
free
carbon
energy
sources.
So
building
renewable
energy
is
a
critical
part
of
this
whole
transition
that
our
whole
species
has
to
be.
G
Involvement
in
Boulder
requested
funding
to
actually
support
our
efforts
to
analyze
how
much
additional
renewable
energy
we
can
create
from
the
rooftops
and
open
spaces
and
other
areas
around
Boulder.
So
it's
a
really
exciting
opportunity
for
us
to
take
the
next
steps
in
finding
out
how
much
energy
we
could
actually
generate
right
here
in
Boulder.
Each.
A
Year
the
World
Wildlife
Fund
organizes
earth
hour
for
one
hour
on
March
29th.
Millions
of
people
across
the
world
will
turn
off
their
lights
for
one
hour
to
raise
awareness
about
climate
change.
In
addition
to
competing
for
the
grant
money,
Boulder
also
has
the
opportunity
to
be
named
the
2014
Earth,
our
city
capital,
so.
H
The
challenge
is
based
on
votes
and
the
city
with
the
most
votes,
per
capita
wins
the
challenge.
So
there
are
a
couple
ways
to
cast
votes.
One
is
actually
just
going
to
the
wheel
of
city's
website
and
clicking
vote.
You
can
also
submit
a
suggestion
for
how
Boulder
can
become
a
more
sustainable
City
via
the
website,
or
you
can
Instagram
a
photo
from
around
Boulder
and
you
just
hashtag
it
with
we
love
folder
and
that
also
counts.
A
And
ideas
may
be
submitted
through
March
twentieth,
the
winner
of
the
earth.
Our
city
capital
will
be
announced
on
March
27th
on
Friday
februari
14th,
the
city
of
Boulder
celebrated.
What
organizers
hope
will
be?
The
first
of
many
1
billion
rising
bear
1
billion
rising
is
a
global
movement
to
end
violence
against
women
and
girls.
The
city.
I
J
I
think
campaigns
can
sort
of
spark
conversations
and
get
people
thinking
about
an
issue
that
maybe
they
don't
often
think
about,
but
it's
really
the
action
that
follows
that
campaign
is
most
important.
One
in
four
women
in
about
one
in
ten
men
experience
violence
by
an
intimate
partner
in
their
lifetime.
So
it's
something
that
is
all
around
us.
We
continue
I
think
as
a
community
to
struggle
with
feeling
comfortable
finding
ways
to
talk
about
it
with
each
other
and,
most
importantly,
with
our
our
children
and
that's
a
critical
piece
to
preventing
violence
in
the
future.

The
USA
cross
country
championships
returned
to
boulder
on
februari
15th
at
the
flatirons
golf
course.
It's
the
first
time
the
race
has
been
held
here
since
2007.
The.
K
Folks
at
flatirons
were
thrilled
to
bring
it
back.
They
had
such
a
good
time
in
2007.
They
said
absolutely.
We
want
to
back,
have
it
back
here,
and
so
it
is
a
two-year
bid.
We
get
it
for
2014
and
2015,
so
they've
been
more
than
supportive
in
the
process.
The
last
six
months
coming
out
here
through
measuring
and
and
setup
and
planning,
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
This
was
we
really
just
want
to
focus
on
putting
on
a
good
race
next
year.
