Please note how many COUNTY roads (and residents) are affected by this self-serving city event. County residents, whenever the city decides to celebrate itself, pay the price with closures, delays, trash and trespassers but realize none of the benefits. Give county residents a say in how and when these events will be scheduled.

We couch potatoes are picking up not only roadside beer cans and vodka bottles, but water bottles and gel paks of passing cyclists, particularly after large scale cycling events inflicted on our roads. Few rural residents have time for cycling since we are engaged in the real work of farming on our properties.

The Boulder Cyclist Reich has already occupied lanes of busy roads in the city, and will likewise annex lanes of roads vital to county residents (63rd Street). Boulder County residents, please note, have no voice on the city's decisions. Using the flood as an excuse to steal and destroy private property in the name of cyclist jihad is unconscionable. Boulder city residents, please vote out the cycling-philiac city council.

I hope this dispute can be settled amicably and the church can get some parking restored without the costs, financial and otherwise, that "Edie's Path" ultimately entailed.

Here's hoping the laugh will sustain us through the traffic snarls at rush hour when the lane closures are implemented.

How many of these other cases are truly worthy of a felony charge? Are there really so many more felonies today than in years past?

I'm not sorry to lose "in depth" coverage of "events" like Heavenfest, but the cruise merits some attention.

Not surprisingly, the major gay press outlets have also followed it closely. What are the the big stories out of Algonquin, just in case we'd like to critique your local coverage?

Not sure how this caller defines "Christian," which can be anything from Roman Catholic to mainline Protestant to Coptic to Westboro Baptist Church. Just a few years back, the Times Call read like a conservative evangelical newsletter by headlining "news" about the LifeBridge community and the "Heavenfest" event while editorializing against same sex marriage. The TC's culture appears to have shifted along with that of the city itself. A hearty hooray for that.

Closing lanes will only exacerbate congestion, especially at rush hour, and perhaps put cyclists in greater danger than they are currently. Drivers have enough challenge already in navigating roads safely with existing bicycle traffic, let's not make a bad situation worse by crowding more cars into less space. Drop the the lane-closure nonsense now.

It 's bad enough already that in summer every road every weekend is clogged with unwanted "cycling events" over which affected residents have no say. Now motorists will lose much needed lanes on busy roads, creating an unnecessary hazard to cyclists and doubtless slowing traffic. This is the worst idea to come from the out-of-touch city known for crackpot, airhead ideas that impact the rest of us.

Thankful that something stops the seemingly endless proliferation of Caucasian cookie-cutter brooder colonies along a once-peaceful rural corridor.
