We Headlined Daily Camera Today!!!!

You may want to note that the Goss-Grove re-zoning story was today's headline for Daily Camera
Check it out.

I think the story is balanced. I also noted that just below our headliner is a story about 30 new high-density/commercial buildings already slated to begin construction in Boulder in the next two years. I think that adds to our argument that Goss-Grove ought to be rezoned to favor the current mix of houses and apartment buildings. Enough is enough.
Also note that you can add comments to the on-line story. Might be good idea.

Arapahoe Avenue Reconstruction

Assume everyone got the postcard from the city about a project they're calling "Arapahoe Avenue Reconstruction" that takes in everything from Folsom to 17th Street and possibly includes moving stop light between 21st and 22nd. There will be an open house about this, seeking public input, Thursday June 21st from 5-6:30 p.m. at West Senior Center 909 Arapahoe Ave. This is just FYI in case you didn't get the postcard or it got lost.

Mark Calendars for August 7--Final on RMX-1 Zoning

The Boulder City Council agenda came out (it's at http://www.bouldercolorado.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=464&Itemid=260) and -- hold onto your hat -- it's 350 pages long.    You should look at it.  We are item 3G, and who knows when the "first reading" of our ordinance will come up.  If Council has read their packets, maybe they'll just zip through saying yes and no rapid-fire to other agenda items and get to us quickly.  The meeting starts at 6:00, then there's 45 minutes of public open mic, and then the numbered list begins. I assume 3G means we're "G" under #3

As a neighborhood organization we're assuming it's not important to go.  IT IS important to go to the public hearing, which the new agenda says will be on August 7 (not the June 19th we advertised).  We will be rallying the troops and laying on the guilt for that one. Plan on it. However, that might be our last journeys to the microphone in support of RMX-1, and a crowd of neighbors will be meaningful for that reason alone. YOU don't want to miss the end of this long-long-long fight. See you August 7 (assuming the date doesn't change again) Happy Summer!!!
