May be safe...but is that really the standard? It's still generally a very unpleasant experience due to the smell and still frequent transgressions of any civilized manners (swearing, cell phone arguments, showering in sinks, messes at tables....)

I live in NoBo and don't need a new library....just let me use the one downtown! ....but now I can't, that place is a joke with all the homeless issues in there. I try to go once a year, thinking '"someone must have gotten a handle on the problem by now", only to find it worse every time.

We should close the library during the day too.

I was in there yesterday and had to move 4 times...and still couldn't escape the booze and pot induced mumbling, profanity, and smell. When I walked in, there was a guy sharing a giant bag of weed on the bench outside. And when I walked through the bridge on the way out at 4pm LITERALLY every single person (12) in there was homeless. Finally, upon exiting I see a guy actually trying to light a joint he just rolled.

The homeless have effectively closed some of our public spaces already. Why can't we find a place for them to go. There has to be some other City property that can provide what they need (heat, bathroom, protection from wind, water, etc.) that doesn't otherwise impede the ability of the tax payers to use and enjoy the City services and amenities. You can't tell me there is not a City garage, plant, or administrative building that can't take some of these people. Oh, but that might get in the way of their work and/or their enjoyment.

Sorry, fish....and ecosystem. The pine beetle and the deforestation in Grand County couldn't beat you, but we will so that some people can turn golden grass into green grass.

why does this organization keep picking prime real estate (with high visibility) around businesses and dense residential areas

da.......seek something off the beaten path that is still served by transportation arteries.......will cost them a lot less too!

maybe their Boulder map only has Broadway on it....and they can't see anything east....maps are super hard to fold.

plus it would be asking a lot for clients to have to transfer from the Skip

And the new Council will proceed as if they have a clear mandate...just watch. And the votes that pushed them over the top undoubtedly came from students who think this sounds like a great idea, but who won't be here to bear the consequences.

Interesting picture celebrating at the Boulderado last night. Another DC article on the council race shows a different celebration there last night too.

Hard to believe. Maybe we should turn up the heat on where/when dogs are allowed. It just seems that if someone has an animal on a leash that they trump any other user in or outside of town around here.

Having to drive in order to mountain bike in this town in nuts.

Let me see if I get this:

getting mountain bikers safer access to the few trails there are (and off the roads where they can get pushed off by cars);

OR, providing even more space to dogs, many of whom push me and my kids off trails by running up and trying to lick, jump, or sniff us.

Hmmmm.

The issue is where they are pulling the water FROM (already depleted Colorado River basin).......not where they are moving it TO (Gross).

....but pulling water from the Colorado basin is and will be killing the fishing over there!
