Here are the top stories today in Boulder:

  1. Fairgrounds master plan update ready for public input. The proposed master plan is designed to update the Boulder County Fairground plan. The county said the facility is at a place where major changes need to be made, including adding a new indoor arena and expanded event spaces. (Yahoo!)
  2. Food truck working hard to be a model citizen. With a mission of being lest wasteful and supporting a more resilient food system, Boulder Farm Eats Direct is delivering on that promise by serving delicious meals from locally sourced excess sources. (5280) (need new link)

Today in Boulder:

  • Boulder Community Knitting: Meadows Branch Library. (2:30 p.m.)
  • "The Two Gentlemen of Verona": By William Shakespeare. (7 p.m.)

From my notebook:

  • The City of Boulder staff is re-evaluating its position on whether or not e-bikes are allowed city open space and a preliminary staff proposal to allow them on 34 miles of trails. Current city policy entirely prohibits e-biking on any city open space trails. (Boulder)
