Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Saturday, June 28, 2025.
Boulder is waking up to clear skies and the iconic Flatirons bathed in early sunlight, making this a perfect morning to grab your coffee and maybe head out for a walk, hike, or a bike ride. For those who want a live glimpse of the mountains and the Indian Peaks, there’s a daily stream from Majestic View Drive in Louisville that shows off the view in real time, a gentle reminder of why we call this place home.
Turning to local headlines, the city is beginning crucial repairs on the 6th Street Bridge today. Construction crews will be out from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, and the bridge will be fully closed for the duration of the repairs. The city has paired the bridge work with pavement repairs to be efficient with both cost and time, so if you’re commuting or heading to North Boulder, plan for detours and perhaps allow a little extra travel time. This is all part of the city’s ongoing push to improve safety and transportation for everyone, and follows up on the release of Boulder’s annual transportation progress report this week. Keep an eye out as well for the next city council projects aimed at making North 30th Street safer and more accessible for bikes and pedestrians.
Speaking of safety, Boulder is still processing the aftermath of the Pearl Street Mall attack that occurred earlier this month. The suspect in the attack, Mohamed Soliman, pleaded not guilty yesterday to federal hate crime charges, on top of facing more than a hundred state charges including attempted murder, assault, and crimes of violence. The charges stem from an attack on the Run for Their Lives group, which had been peacefully marching on the mall in support of hostages held in Gaza. The victims, ranging in age from 25 to 88, are recovering and expected to survive, but the community continues to come together in support. Soliman’s next court appearance is set for July 15.
On a brighter note, there are plenty of ways to connect and enjoy Boulder this weekend. If you’re new in town or just want to meet your neighbors, check out the city’s “Strolls and Rolls” events—a guided way to explore Boulder by foot or bike, learn about local projects, and maybe make a friend or two. And if you’re heading into town, remember to keep your bike locked up and register it if you haven’t already, as summer means more activity both on the trails and, unfortunately, among bike thieves.
Today is also a great day to hit the Pearl Street Mall, support local shops, and maybe treat yourself to lunch from one of the many food trucks that pop up on weekends. The farmers market will be bustling as always, so don’t miss a chance to grab some fresh Colorado produce and enjoy some live music.
That wraps up your Boulder Local Frequency for today. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
