Today's riddle: What do evil hens lay? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. City Releases 2026 July Point in Time Count Results (bouldercolorado.gov) — Boulder's latest July Point in Time Count found 88 people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in the city, the lowest summer and winter numbers since 2023. Officials say it signals progress but highlight that most surveyed report chronic homelessness, disabilities, and that over a quarter first became homeless in Boulder, guiding future local support efforts.
2. CU Boulder named official university partner of Sundance Film Festival (denver7.com subscription) — CU Boulder has been named the official university partner of the Sundance Film Festival as the event relocates to Boulder in January 2027, using major local venues like Boulder Theater and Chautauqua Auditorium. Students will gain access to internships, volunteer roles, discounted tickets, special screenings, and sustainability research opportunities, tying the global film showcase directly into campus and city life.
3. Boulder will begin collecting its new transportation fee in 2027 (boulderreportinglab.org) — Boulder will start adding a new transportation maintenance fee to utility bills in 2027, funding repairs to roads, bridges, sidewalks and other infrastructure as sales tax revenue plateaus. Charges will vary by property type and size, with most residential and commercial owners paying while entities like Boulder Valley School District and federal labs are exempt but encouraged to contribute voluntarily.
4. Boulder considers opening South Boulder trails to mountain bikes, reviving a 15-year fight (boulderreportinglab.org) — Boulder is weighing whether to open a key South Boulder trail connection to mountain bikes, a move that could shift how residents safely reach Marshall Mesa and Doudy Draw without using busy roads. City staff are gathering public input through a questionnaire before making recommendations that balance safety, equity, and habitat protection, with a council vote possible in early 2027.
5. Boulder County Mobility for All Releases 2025 Annual Report (bouldercounty.gov) — Boulder County's Mobility for All program has released its 2025 annual report, detailing how it's improving transportation access for residents across the county, including underserved communities. The report highlights major programs, new partnerships, community impact data, and priorities for 2026, with options to request printed copies and language or ADA assistance.
