The City of Boulder and Boulder County have released the draft 2026 Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update for public review and comment. The plan addresses land use, housing, transportation, environmental stewardship, and community resilience. Public comments will be accepted through May 15.<\/p>\n
Environmental review of the project area near SH-7 \/ Ute Highway found 3 sensitive species and 2 wetland areas requiring mitigation. The Sustainability, Climate Action & Resilience worked with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to develop a habitat conservation plan.<\/p>\n
Boulder County has partnered with the cities of Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, and Louisville on this project. Combined investment across all jurisdictions totals $223,000, making it one of the largest collaborative efforts in the county’s history.<\/p>\n
The Legion Park open space property encompasses 2,157 acres and features 4 miles of multi-use trails. Seasonal wildlife closures may apply from December 15 through July 15 to protect nesting raptors and elk calving areas.<\/p>\n
The project includes improvements along SH-7 \/ Ute Highway between Gunbarrel and the intersection with SH-119 Diagonal Highway. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2026 with completion expected within 15 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
