My daughter and I call it the Scooby-Doo Ghost Horse. It should definitely stay where it is.

It shouldn't cost money or be a hassle to simply go for a walk in the woods. People go for walks in the woods to get away from life's hassles, like getting nickeled and dimed for every little thing. Let's not spoil this, please.

Places that charge usage fees, like state and national parks, are typically destinations in and of themselves and have amenities like picnic areas, restrooms, guided tours or visitor centers. Presumably, there is no plan to provide these sorts of amenities at the trails where fees are to be charged?

Along with PhilipMay11, I'd also wonder about the amount of money this would bring in relative to the administrative costs of collecting the fees and making sure residents have the proper ID cards/stickers, etc.

jrhondorf - I think that's a bug, because Karakehian's video is up on her page now. I suspect that giving a couple of lines to opponents is intended to provide balance to the profiles, but in all of the profiles I've seen, it just seems to come off as a parting pot-shot with little background or context. If the DC wanted to provide outside pro and con perspectives in these profiles, it should be in a separate section with those perspectives developed in more detail. But I agree with you, it would be better to just let the candidate say their piece in the profiles and have the pro and con analysis exist elsewhere.

Also, DC, we are only a few weeks from the election, how about a prominent link to Election coverage from the main page? You have an Election page with links to Q&A and the profiles on it, which is great, but its link is buried under News your top navigation area, which I'll suspect is rarely used...

The headline should read "Boulder *City Council* gives final OK to house-size rules" seeing as the citizens never got a chance to vote on it.

Thank you, Angelique, Ken and Suzy for being voices of reason in this debate. Here's to hoping we get more of your ilk on the next council.

Even removing the 13% "no opinion" types (which makes sense since we can't know the motivation behind choosing that item), you've got 45% saying it's not a problem to 43% saying it is. This is dead even, not a clear mandate either way, and one would have hoped would have been interpreted by the council as a need to craft a resolution with demonstrable majority community support (like the sort you get from a vote -- and don't give me any hooey about this being too complex an issue for a vote). There may have been a "compromise" within the council, but it was just enough of a compromise to get a 5-3 majority vote within the council itself - - this should not be taken to mean that it is a compromise acceptable to the citizenry. As for the survey, note that the council only sent this out after the attempt at ramming through an emergency measure met with public resistance.
