Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, April 15.

Start your day with some big local news shaking up our community support systems. Boulder's main homeless shelter, All Roads, is rolling out a new pilot policy starting May 4 that limits stays to just 10 days for folks without strong local ties, like living here six months, becoming homeless in Boulder County, or having family or a job nearby. It's aimed at prioritizing resources for those rooted here, potentially impacting only a handful monthly since most already cycle through quicker, and it'll pause in winter. This could really focus our efforts on homegrown needs amid ongoing housing pressures.

Speaking of housing wins, a nonprofit is pushing forward with a 60-unit affordable senior living project on Arapahoe Avenue, even as landmarking talks swirl around an old bungalow on site. Boulder's Planning Board gave it a unanimous thumbs down for historic status last week, keeping the build feasible, though City Council has the final word. Imagine more stable spots for our aging neighbors right in the heart of town, easing that crunch without losing our character.

On the green energy front, City Council just expanded sales tax rebates to boost battery storage systems, making it cheaper for homes and businesses to stash solar power and keep the lights on during peaks. It's a smart step toward resilience as we lean harder into renewables, directly cutting your energy bills and grid strain.

Get out and enjoy our vibrant scene tonight. Catch Saturdays at Your Place with Retirement Party and Kerosene Heights at the Fox Theatre at 7:30pm, tickets around 37 bucks, or Colin Hay rocking at 8pm. Music lovers, that's your vibe. Looking ahead, the city launched the fun Share the Path campaign today, urging cyclists, runners, and walkers to play nice on our trails with courtesy reminders popping up everywhere, fostering safer streets as spring blooms.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, April 9th.

We're starting this morning with developing news from our community. Early this morning around 3 a.m., Boulder Fire-Rescue responded to a wildfire near the 200 block of Hawthorne Avenue, close to our City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks land. The fire, named the Goat Trail Fire, burned approximately 1.7 to 2 acres before crews were able to stop its spread. Multiple agencies responded to the scene, including the Boulder County Sheriff's Office, Boulder Rural Fire Rescue, and several other mutual aid partners. The good news is that crews worked quickly and efficiently. By around 8 a.m., forward progress on the fire had stopped, and by 9:15 a.m., the fire reached 100 percent containment. No injuries were reported, and importantly, no structures were lost in this incident. All evacuation warnings have been lifted, and residents in the affected areas are now able to return home safely.

Boulder County Sheriff's deputies and Boulder Police officers conducted door-to-door notifications early this morning to alert residents who were still asleep when the fire broke out. A planned aerial water drop that was scheduled for 8 a.m. was ultimately canceled due to lack of need as crews made such good progress containing the fire. Officials say that while conditions are looking better right now, the community should remain prepared. We're still experiencing warm, windy, and dry conditions this spring, which creates ongoing fire risk in our foothills. If you haven't already, consider signing up for emergency alerts at bocoalert.org to stay informed.

On a related note, while the Goat Trail itself remains closed for now, several popular hiking trails in the area have already reopened since the fire was contained. The Sanitas Valley Trail, Dakota Ridge, Sanitas East Ridge, and Sanitas West Ridge trails are all accessible again for your outdoor activities. You can check the OSMP closures webpage for the latest trail status updates.

The cause of this morning's fire is still under investigation, and officials remind us to stay vigilant as we head into the fire season. The Boulder community has experienced multiple fires in recent weeks, so fire preparedness and awareness remain critical.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, April 8th.

We're starting this Wednesday with some important developments across our community. First up, Colorado football fans should know that head coach Deion Sanders addressed criticism from former players who've moved to other schools. At a news conference yesterday, Sanders took the high road, saying he's proud that these players have been able to earn more at their new programs. Rather than firing back at the comparisons being made, Sanders emphasized he won't be provoked into responding poorly, showing the kind of composure you'd expect from someone leading one of the nation's top programs.

On the legal front, a Boulder dance studio owner is facing serious charges in what authorities are calling Operation Tiny Dancer. Cindy Burdine has been indicted on more than twenty counts, including fraud, theft, and forgery. According to the indictment, she staged fake robberies at her studio, Kenesis Dance, to commit insurance fraud, netting over five hundred thousand dollars from insurance companies. The investigation alleges she used some of that money for cosmetic surgery. One of the robberies was reportedly staged in July 2023 with hired help. Burdine also faces charges for attempting to influence a Boulder police officer. Her bail has been set at ten thousand dollars.

Now, let's talk about what's happening outdoors this spring. Boulder County Farmers Markets have launched an exciting new collaboration called Market Meals, featuring seasonal recipes in partnership with Boulder Reporting Lab. This week they're sharing a spring quiche recipe using fresh local ingredients. The Boulder Farmers Market is open Saturdays from eight in the morning to two in the afternoon through November, with Wednesday evening markets starting in May at the same location on thirteenth street.

Looking at the bigger picture, we're facing some serious weather challenges. A record breaking heat wave at the end of March is raising major concerns about drought and wildfire risk this summer. A grass fire burned about half an acre in our Chautauqua region just this past Sunday, and it's the second fire in that area this spring. Climate experts warn that an abnormally dry winter combined with this early heat creates a dangerous scenario. Boulder is currently under a drought watch, and city officials will decide by May first whether to implement water usage restrictions.

Finally, the Colorado Court of Appeals is hearing arguments this week about whether Boulder's camping ban is constitutional. The ACLU and homeless advocates continue to challenge the ordinance, arguing it amounts to cruel punishment.

Shifting to community alerts, the former owner of Boulder's only competitive dance studio faces serious heat, indicted on 21 felony counts including theft of up to a million dollars, fraud, and forgery.

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, April 4.

Boulderites, brace for a blustery start to your weekend as a cold front sweeps through, bringing west-northwest winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour this morning before easing off. Highs will hover in the low to mid-50s today, with that cooler, moist air keeping fire danger low—a welcome relief amid statewide concerns over high winds sparking potential outages up north. Look for a quick warmup tomorrow into the 60s, and next week could even touch the 70s with just a chance of spotty showers by Monday. Perfect weather to get out and tackle some yard work, especially since sprinklers are still okay in public grassy spots to prevent damage, though keep an eye on May 1 for any tighter water rules based on snowpack.

Speaking of fire prep, Boulder County just launched an early wildfire mitigation rebate program—residents can apply now to host neighborhood chipping events with at least five homes pitching in. A county wood chipper shows up on your scheduled day, making it easier to clear those hazardous fuels before summer heats up. And heads up on travel: a local bridge is closed indefinitely for repairs, so plan alternate routes while engineers sort out permits.

In tougher news, our NOAA Global Monitoring Lab here in Boulder is in hot water with a funding freeze dragging on since February. Half the staff, including 42 scientists tracking greenhouse gases, ozone, and solar radiation, face furloughs without pay. CIRES Director Waleed Abdalati puts it bluntly: when the money stops, so does the critical climate work that protects us all. Meanwhile, city council gave a green light last night to let renters sublease homes during next years Sundance Film Festival, opening up more housing for the influx of visitors—applications start in early May.
