Boulder City Council
At the Thursday, April 11 virtual meeting, council will:
• Hold a public hearing and vote on whether to adopt the Civic Area Historic District, which would include Central Park and five surrounding city-owned landmarks, including Boulder-Dushanbe Teahouse and the Glen Huntington Bandshell. The historic landmark designation would add a level of design review for exterior changes and new buildings through the City’s department of historic preservation. In January, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board unanimously opposed the district, citing the red tape it would create. In February, the Landmarks Board recommended the approval of the district in a 4-1 vote. This portion of the meeting will be more than two hours long.
• Discuss the Vision Zero Action Plan, which aims to eliminate all crashes that result in serious injuries or fatalities by 2030. The city adopted Vision Zero in 2014.
Boulder County Commissioners
On Tuesday, April 9, commissioners will:
• Hold a public hearing and make a decision on whether to disallow temporary fireworks stands in unincorporated Boulder County.
