Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 22, 2025.

Spring is in full swing here in Boulder, and today promises plenty of local happenings, fresh updates, and opportunities to connect with your community. Let’s start with some county news. Tonight, the Boulder County Commissioners are hosting their regular board meeting with a focus on services relocation as the North Broadway Complex heads for sale. This is a big change for residents who use county services, as those offices will soon move to the 28th Street location. If you rely on those services or just want to stay informed, you might want to tune in or drop by the meeting tonight.

Transportation is a hot topic this week, too. Boulder Canyon commuters can continue taking advantage of the free extra bus service between Boulder and Nederland through May 23. This extension is giving mountain travelers a smoother ride and helping to take some pressure off the usual RTD route. And for all the cyclists and students out there, BVSD Bike Week is taking over schools until Friday, with Wednesday marking Bike to School Day. It is a great excuse to dust off that bike, skip the car line, and enjoy some spring air on your way to class or work.

If you are looking to get even more involved locally, there are a few standout opportunities right now. Boulder County’s Community Action Programs are seeking new members for their People Engaged in Raising Leaders Boards and Commissions training. This is a call to action for residents hoping to help shape future policy and make a positive community impact.

Arts and education are making headlines, as well. The St. Vrain Watershed Art Contest celebrated creative students this month, with young artists across Boulder County earning top honors for their portrayals of Colorado’s vibrant waterways. Over at CU Boulder, the MCDB department has several events on the horizon, including intriguing colloquia and, looking ahead to May, the Gold Symposium, which will spotlight leading scientific research and is open to everyone free of charge.

And for those who love planning ahead, mark your calendars for the Boulder Chamber’s 120th Anniversary event coming up on June 18. That’s sure to be a lively gathering, celebrating the business community’s long-standing presence and growth in Boulder.

With all the news covered, don’t forget about Boulder’s steady pulse of local stories and happenings. Whether it is exploring new transportation options, participating in community-focused art, or attending public meetings, today is full of ways to make your mark or simply enjoy all Boulder has to offer.
