Traffic signal being relocated from lower work zone to upper work zone tomorrow

Lawrence Construction will relocate the first set of signals you encounter traveling into the canyon (south section) to the upper work zone (north section) tomorrow during the day. The new signal location will be just below Salina Junction. Signal timing is expected to be similar to what was used in the lower location (four minutes). 

The remaining two signals in the south section will remain in place until back-fill is complete at this location and the surface is safe to drive one. Back-fill work has taken longer than anticipated at this location due to high groundwater levels causing compaction problems and material supply issues. 

Please let me know if you have questions. 

Have a good evening.

Celebration in Memory of Barbara Lawlor

I want to thank everyone that has contributed a kind word, a warm hug, a shoulder to lean on, and most of all your continued support as we continue to move forward without this amazing woman in our lives. She truly was the most amazing woman I have ever known.
 
Here is the flyer with information on the celebration we have planned June 7, 5-7 p.m. Outdoors, which she loved. At Chipeta park, so the kids can run around and people can enjoy a picnic. And a flower garden in her memory that people can help plant.

Fourmile Canyon Flood Recovery Project Update – Crews moving into stretch between Logan Mill and Salina Junction

Hello – 

Lawrence plans on starting to install some of the minor culverts under the road starting next week in the stretch between Logan Mill and Salina (north section), so expect short delays on that end of the project in addition to the lower (south) section. 

Delays from Salina to CO 119 are not to exceed 15-minutes total. I know there have been a few instances when they have been longer and I apologize. We have reiterated how important it is that delays remain below 15-minutes total, especially with the work taking place in Boulder Canyon. 

If weather holds next week, they’ll be able to open up the wall site just below the Poorman Fire Station and return the road to two lanes with no traffic signal. Unfortunately, it looks like rain and snow may push this effort back a week. 

Once one of the lower section (south) signal is removed and the road is reopened to two lanes, the signal will move to the north section so they can start on one of the seven walls that need to be built in that stretch of roadway. The first wall Lawrence will build is located just down from Salina Junction. 

Lawrence remains positive that all work on the road in the south section will be complete and they will be able to complete final paving of that stretch in June. They also remain confident that they’ll be able to complete the entire project by the end of October 2019. 

Upper Fourmile Canyon (Salina to Sunset)

Our contractor (CEI) will return the gravel portion of upper Fourmile Canyon Drive in early May to resurface the roadway. They were hoping to come in next week, but weather looks to be unfavorable for the work they need to perform.

When they do get started, expect heavy truck traffic up and down Fourmile Canyon Drive making material deliveries and large equipment in the road, which will mean delays of up-to 15 minutes between Wall Street and Sunset.

There is also one large culvert to finish around 9000 Fourmile Canyon Drive, but that work has not been scheduled yet. After the road is resurfaced and the culvert is installed, this project will be complete. There will still be some landscaping work to do, but this work will be minor compared to the road and culvert efforts and should not require any travel delays.  

Gold Run Road

SEMA will return to this section of the canyon the week of May 6 to work on the last remaining retaining wall and complete their punch-list items, which includes landscaping. The wall work, which will take place in front of 1158 Gold Run Road, will last through June, but should not require any major delays. 

As you can see, there’s still a lot of work taking place in Fourmile, so everyone needs to be extra vigilant when traveling through trough the entire area. Daytime, weekday cycling restrictions remain in place and will likely be enforced through the summer. As a reminder, cyclists are required to stop for flaggers and traffic signals. The last thing we want is to have someone get injured or worse during the last phases of the flood recovery effort. 

Thank you. Have a good weekend.

Sincerely,

Andrew

Get involved in Shared Stewardship on the Boulder Ranger District

Six volunteer opportunities available this spring

BOULDER, Colo. (April 29, 2019) — The Roosevelt National Forest’s Boulder Ranger District is seeking volunteers to assist with six Stewardship Days this spring. The goal is to contain the spreading resource impact caused by dispersed camping across the ranger district.

Please RSVP via e-mail to Jared Smith at jared.a.smith@nullusda.gov with the date and location you are interested in attending as the e-mail’s subject line. The RSVP helps staff plan appropriately for the number of people and update participants on any changes due to weather. If any groups are planning on attending, only one person needs to RSVP with how many people are planning on attending.

The Forest Service will provide hardhats and all necessary tools.

Fourmile Canyon Flood Recovery Project Update – Crews moving into stretch between Logan Mill and Salina Junction

Hello – 

Lawrence plans on starting to install some of the minor culverts under the road starting next week in the stretch between Logan Mill and Salina (north section), so expect short delays on that end of the project in addition to the lower (south) section. 

Delays from Salina to CO 119 are not to exceed 15-minutes total. I know there have been a few instances when they have been longer and I apologize. We have reiterated how important it is that delays remain below 15-minutes total, especially with the work taking place in Boulder Canyon. 

If weather holds next week, they’ll be able to open up the wall site just below the Poorman Fire Station and return the road to two lanes with no traffic signal. Unfortunately, it looks like rain and snow may push this effort back a week. 

Once one of the lower section (south) signal is removed and the road is reopened to two lanes, the signal will move to the north section so they can start on one of the seven walls that need to be built in that stretch of roadway. The first wall Lawrence will build is located just down from Salina Junction. 

Lawrence remains positive that all work on the road in the south section will be complete and they will be able to complete final paving of that stretch in June. They also remain confident that they’ll be able to complete the entire project by the end of October 2019. 

Upper Fourmile Canyon (Salina to Sunset)

Our contractor (CEI) will return the gravel portion of upper Fourmile Canyon Drive in early May to resurface the roadway. They were hoping to come in next week, but weather looks to be unfavorable for the work they need to perform.

When they do get started, expect heavy truck traffic up and down Fourmile Canyon Drive making material deliveries and large equipment in the road, which will mean delays of up-to 15 minutes between Wall Street and Sunset.

There is also one large culvert to finish around 9000 Fourmile Canyon Drive, but that work has not been scheduled yet. After the road is resurfaced and the culvert is installed, this project will be complete. There will still be some landscaping work to do, but this work will be minor compared to the road and culvert efforts and should not require any travel delays.  

Gold Run Road

SEMA will return to this section of the canyon the week of May 6 to work on the last remaining retaining wall and complete their punch-list items, which includes landscaping. The wall work, which will take place in front of 1158 Gold Run Road, will last through June, but should not require any major delays. 

As you can see, there’s still a lot of work taking place in Fourmile, so everyone needs to be extra vigilant when traveling through trough the entire area. Daytime, weekday cycling restrictions remain in place and will likely be enforced through the summer. As a reminder, cyclists are required to stop for flaggers and traffic signals. The last thing we want is to have someone get injured or worse during the last phases of the flood recovery effort. 

Thank you. Have a good weekend.

Sincerely,

Andrew

Learn how we as individuals can ensure maximum use and minimal impact from products we consume. And see tool libraries to prevent consuming even more items.

After our morning tour on Tuesday, April 30, we will enjoy lunch nearby at the highly rated Efrain’s Mexican Restaurante & Cantina. No charge for the tour; bring money for lunch.
NOTE NEW TIME POSSIBLE:  We will need to determine during the weekend what the canyon closure schedule will be. Carpools were originally scheduled to depart Nederland Community Center at 9:00am for our 10:00am tour, but if we face hard closures in the canyon, we may back up the departure time to 8:15am and determine whether the tour can start earlier or if we wish to take a self-guided tour of CHaRM across Arapahoe at 64th beforehand.
Please ensure you have signed up with us at 303-258-0799 or via serenekarplus (at) gmail.com so we can stay in touch with everyone as last minute timing changes unfold… If you plan to meet us there, please meet in the lobby entrance on the west end of the Recycling Facility on 63rd Street north of Arapahoe at 10am unless you hear otherwise from us via email.

Boulder County’s EnergySmart Program Partners with Arbor Day Foundation to offer heavily discounted trees for Earth Day

Only 600 trees available, reserve your tree early!

Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County’s Sustainability Office is providing more than 600 discounted trees to its residents through EnergySmart, the county’s one-stop-shop service to help residents make their homes more comfortable, affordable, and environmentally friendly. This tree planting program is designed to help residents better understand where to plant a tree on their property to achieve maximum shading effect for maximum energy savings.

“Trees are assets to a community when properly planted and maintained,” said Dan Lambe, Arbor Day Foundation President. “They help to improve the visual appeal of a neighborhood, increase property values by up to 18%, reduce home cooling costs, remove air pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat, among many other benefits.”

Starting April 22, Boulder County residents can reserve their trees at www.arborday.org/bouldercounty. An online tool helps residents estimate the annual energy savings that will result from plating trees in the most strategic location near their homes. Residents can reserve one tree per home and are expected to care for and plant them in the location provided by the online tool.

Boulder County is proud to sponsor this program and provide residents with one discounted tree for only $25. In less than five minutes, residents can reserve a 5-gallon tree offered in five different varieties. This program will end on May 8 or while supply lasts.

The five types of trees offered in 5-gallon sizes are:

  • Austrian Pine
  • Bur Oak
  • Kentucky Coffee Tree
  • Ponderosa Pine
  • Spring Snow Crabapple

The program will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis and there will be two pickup locations in Boulder and Longmont for a pickup time in May. Residents will be able to choose their pickup location during checkout.

At Boulder County, we’re committed to a greener, healthier world. Trees around homes help reduce the amount of energy your home requires by shading and keeping temperatures cooler inside your home. Other benefits include adding to your property value, reduce your carbon footprint, improve the air quality, more effectively catch stormwater runoff, and provide an urban cooling effect in the summer for your community for you and generations to come.

For more information, visit www.arborday.org/bouldercounty or contact Tyler Kelser at tkelser@nullbouldercounty.org or 720-564-2724.

Clean up at Rocky Point Saturday

Greetings neighbors!
After a recognizance hike today, we discovered that Rocky Point is pretty clean, and most of the snow is melted.  We would like to shovel out campfire rings and remove rings where there are multiples in one site. To discourage vehicles from driving further in to sites, particularly on the east side, we plan to line up rocks that we can move by hand or with a dolly.

 

 Please join Kate and Derek for a celebration of Earth Day by contributing to the Sierra Club and participating in a clean up at Rocky Point. Meet at the Point, Saturday April 20th at 1pm. Bring gloves, shovels, and rakes. We’ll provide trash bags and a truck to haul the junk away.  

We made this commitment to raise funds for the Sierra Club so they can help us with initiatives like these:

· Providing cleaner, cheaper, energy.
· Protecting our land, water, and air – from our backyards to the other side of the globe.
· Saving animals being threatened with extinction.
· Making the outdoors accessible for all of us.

I set a goal to raise $500 by April 22. Will you join us?

Emergency Information and Reverse 911

For extensive Emergency Information, including road closures, weather, disaster preparedness, etc., go to the Office of Emergency Management at   www.boulderoem.com

 

BCSO’s response to a question about reverse 911 (Everbridge in Boulder County) and
anti-spam settings on landlines:

Everbridge does not have the functionality to get around Robo caller
or anti-spam software. It is simply waiting for voice
recognition before it starts delivering its message. If it was
faced with a “press 1” prompt it would just try to deliver its
voice message but never make it to the recipient. 

Michael Radden, ENP
Dispatch Supervisor
Boulder County Sheriff
————————————————————
For a cell phone or for a landline, for Everbridge to work you must
register the phone with the Sheriff’s office:

Bears are back

From Stefani Wilson – Hibernation is over

“Followed” a nice long trail of bear tracks and fur tufts on the Skillet trail. Thought it might be good to remind folks to bring their birdfeeders in at night.

Happy Spring!
