Here are the top stories today in Boulder:

1. Labor Day traffic on I-70 forces holiday weekend warriors to sit in hours long backups. If you're one of the lucky ones that made it into the mountains over the Labor Day weekend, returning on Monday afternoon wasn't a fun journey back home for many. (CBS4)
2. Boulder's community broadband project expects to wrap up construction in early 2023. City council approved the project in 2018 and issued $20 million in bonds to move it forward. Eventually it will be part of a broadband connectivity network. (Yahoo!)
3. All-time heat record highs forecast this week. Temperatures this week could break all-time high records, as the weather forecast is calling for near 100-degree days. (FOX31)
4. The battle of where e-bikes belong continues to rage. E-bike advocates tout them as an environmentally safe solution, but critics say that e-bikes are nothing more than a low-speed motorcycle. Now a battle is brewing that could pit regional trail users against their use on trails. (CPR)
5. Thrift stores bounce back after the pandemic. Shoppers are flocking to area thrift stores and donations are up, but some think it's an indicator of a more sinister problem with the U.S. economy. (CO Sun)
