looking to see if there’s a good palestinian owned restaurant in boulder or surrounding areas!

edit: also ok if it’s a arab or persian owned place!

look, I know everyone’s complaining about construction but honestly? not enough. nowhere close. the cones-to-functional-road ratio in this town is embarrassing and somebody has to say it.

yes I see the cones. yes I see the flaggers. yes I see the corner of 23rd and Pearl, which has been a construction site since the Obama administration. cute. we can do better.

here is what I want:
-every hole gets a second hole. we don’t fill anything in until there’s a new one going next to it. by 2028 you shouldn’t be able to walk from Pearl to Ideal without crossing at least three trenches.
-the sidewalk program is too timid. we’re only ripping up sidewalks that are “old” or “cracked.” weak. start ripping up the sidewalks we JUST replaced. pour new concrete in a slightly different shade of gray. nobody will notice and that is the entire point.
-mapleton hill is getting repaved (yes I live there, yes I hear myself) and look, those roads are fine. objectively fine. but we’re committed now so honestly council should send a crew up at 2am to mess up the asphalt first so the project feels earned.
-shoutout to the Diagonal btw, the GOLD standard. $165 million and three plus years of lane closures so that someday we’ll have a beautiful nine mile bike path running right down the middle of a highway, with dedicated underpasses and everything, for the like four people who’ll actually commute it in january. this is the energy. this is what I want council doing more of.
-last thing. do NOT bury the power lines. I know. every chinook knocks our grid out for 18 hours. I know one downed line in the wrong canyon and we’re Marshall Fire 2. I know Fort Collins finished burying 100% of theirs in 2006 and basically never has outages. that’s exactly the problem. underground lines are invisible. they’re permanent. and worst of all they actually work. give me a sidewalk panel in a slightly different shade of gray instead.

the current strategy of repaving perfectly good roads so some 14 year old on a Super73 can hit 32 down Broadway is directionally correct. we just need to commit harder.

But seriously - does this clear the way for more meaningful enforcement of the illegal encampments?

Luckily still in great condition. Show me your Strava and we can arrange a hand-up.

I'll be very transparent I am not an avid mountain biker nor super outdoorsman. But I read this article and I get the sense that behind a lot of the "eco protection" lingo from this women, and likely the elderly population who back this, is they just don't like mountain biking and want it cut back because its "loud and crazy" or something like that. which is a shame. the author even points out that their are already trails that ban cyclist leaving very limited opportunities but then just basically says "thats the point."

this whole thing smells like a boomer opp to cut back on activities they deem obstructive to their specific lifestyle. with no regard for the rest of the population. but as this population of boulder ages we might see more of this sadly. I could be entirely misreading everything here but this is my take.

The latest info I can see indicate that there are level 1 fire restrictions for all of Boulder county since March 30th. Just to be clear, does this mean that at a dispersed camp site this weekend where it's been raining/snowing, it would not be allowed to have a campfire in an established fire ring, unless the sheriff comes out with a new announcement?

Denver friends,

Looking for any recommendations or ideas to help find a missing dog that has been lost for a month with no credible true leads. Posts have been made continuously across social media and Facebook groups, fliers have been posted, shelters and police contacted and constantly monitored, posts made on PawBoost and similar sites as well as Ring, Nextdoor, etc.

If anyone has been in a similar situation trying to find a lost pet with success and has any recommendations or any other ideas - please do share.
Last seen in Berkeley heights April 17.

UPDATE: flier with info and pictures available here

Morning!! Does anyone have any thoughts of where I could run up to 12K (likely on roads with the recent snow this week) within 1-2 hours of Boulder? Any advice is welcome! Training for an early season high altitude race and need to get up there so I don’t die 😂😂😂 Thank you!!

Parked last week and paid for parking for what I thought was the entirety of my trip.

Due to some family health issues I have to stay away longer than expected. I can’t seem to find a way to extend my valid parking permit. Thoughts? Thanks!!

The diagonal is fucked this morning backed up from 63rd all the way towards town (Boulder). Good luck.

Hi! I understand that there will be road closures, but wondering if maybe some will function at some point, maybe the SKIP that goes mainly on broadway or a modified 208? Can't find any specifics in the Bolder Boulder nor the RTD website. I know because it's a holiday, the schedule is adjusted but not sure if it's 100% stopped. thanks!!

Three days of rain - no worms. I have seen no worms. No worms on sidewalks, no worms in the dirt. No worms.

Is it the wrong time of year? Did I dream them - was it all a paracosm? Do worms exist?

Where are the worms?
