I have lived in a large number of cities all varying in size, but I have NEVER seen worse light timing than Broomfield (Northglenn is probably second). It seems like they almost intentionally try to rage bait and make people run risky yellows because there is no reason by a light 1000 feet ahead turns red within moments of the light prior turns green. Or my favorite, lights that turn green when you have almost stopped or have just stopped at the red. At the least, it’s terrible for vehicle emissions. At the worst, I’ve seen countless near accidents and road rage incidents occur because of this. Obviously you don’t expect every light to be green, but the way they are timed seems either extremely careless and negligent or purposefully inconvenient and irritating. Don’t even get me started on the light sensors at night.

I’m very careful and distrustful of cars while I’m in a cross walk. So thankfully I was vigilant. This evening I was in a (clearly marked) cross walk when a car made eye contact with me, drifted from one lane into another to get by me as I was crossing. Pretty shaken and bothered by this. They were driving really fast around a corner so it all happened kinda quick. Realistically does one just move on and distrust cars a little bit more in the future? Seems like a police report would be a waste of time?

Edit: I realize the answers are: Yes. & Probably. So I guess just… be careful out there!

I feel like I need to complain to the city at this point. Why the fuck does this intersection skip the green arrow for left turns?! I waited at the light for 11 minutes, sitting for 5 cycles where my turn lane was skipped every single time. I had to cut into the line to go straight, U turn & still got where i was going before the light turned. Im being so serious where do I go to complain about this. It’s fucking insane.

Sorry i’m sure this has been posted, but WHY exactly does Broomfield PD not have a speed trap sitting in this area all night? I know they do sometimes, point is they’d make a killing having one set up.

Any neighbors over here like me hearing cars and motorcycles scream by well over speed limit??? ITS SO LOUD ALL AT NIGHT and even at 6 am there’s this one car that always is ripping Arista incredibly loud. I know there are decibel laws for cars but that’s hard to enforce and i even enjoy loud cars myself but not at 2 am.

Apologies, i’m tired and i am typing this listening to motorcycles race. Thanks in advance.

Hi neighbors! I don’t have kids and have been looking for more community activities to get outside with others, without having to drive into the city.

I’ve hosted a silent-ish reading picnic in Broomfield about a month ago and it was incredible to see so many locals come sit outside and read for an hour. You can be as social or unsocial as you want, but I wanted to share in case anyone is interested in joining.

It’s free and low pressure way to do something different outside assuming the weather is good. Happy to share the link to sign up if interested.

Our garbage barrel smelled awful after last week's pickup. I noticed a few days later that somebody put a sticker on it offering to clean out smelly trash cans.

It's very suspicious that it started smelling AFTER pickup and on the same day somebody put a sticker on it.

37/M trying to rebuild my social life and meet ppl, into outdoorsy stuff like hiking biking and skiing, board games, sports, movies/musicals/concerts. Any tips on how to make friends out here after a number of years being too introverted?

My husband and I are looking to move to Broomfield from Westminster. It’ll shorten our commute and overall we like the location (nothing wrong with Westminster, but we’ve been in our condo for 9 years and have outgrown it). The “Parkside West at Baseline” community caught our eye and was wondering if anyone had opinions (good and bad) about the area. It’s located off of Baseline & Huron. Thanks for your insight :)

UPDATE: On Sunday, August 2, at approximately 1:38 p.m., a vehicle was observed traveling toward Boulder from the Davidson Mesa area on the bike path along the north side of US 36. Deputies estimated the vehicle’s speed at up to 50 mph, creating a significant safety risk for anyone using the path.

Yesterday evening, 44-year-old Gerardo Aguilar Cruz was charged with Reckless Driving and Reckless Endangerment in connection with this incident.

We appreciate the community members who submitted tips to try to help identify the suspect involved in this dangerous event.

The associated Boulder County Sheriff’s Office case number is 26-03656.

It would be great if the Broomfield Police would follow suit with the “antisocial” drivers (I love the Brits’ manners) around Broomfield Commons at night. Supercars or not.

I'm in Westlake and while Xfinity works, they always jack up the price and I'm sick of the song and dance every year. Westlake isn't slated for any of the fiber around here. Anyone have T-Mobile or Mint Mobile 5g Home Internet and if so what do you think? Thanks, neighbors.
