Community Impact
Environmental review of the project area near South Boulder Road found 12 sensitive species and 2 wetland areas requiring mitigation. The Public Health worked with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to develop a habitat conservation plan.
Boulder County has partnered with the cities of Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, and Louisville on this project. Combined investment across all jurisdictions totals $235,000, making it one of the largest collaborative efforts in the county’s history.
