Here are the top stories in Boulder today:

  1. Colorado Supreme Court to hear arguments about who can access the state's rivers. The case pits a fly fisherman against two landowners that refused him to access to fish on a segment of the Arkansas River. The outcome could alter what has been settled law since Colorado became a state. (FOX31)
  2. E-bikes have been banned on Boulder's open space trails for years, will their popularity force the city reconsider the ban? City officials are looking at a plan that would allow electric bikes on certain single-track trails in Boulder's open space. City council will allow the public to weigh in on the idea during a public hearing scheduled for Dec. 14. (Reporting Lab)
  3. Lockheed Martin employees celebrate the return of NASA's Orion. Almost 600 Colorado Lockheed Martin employees in Colorado that worked on the Orion space program, watched as the mission's space craft returned to earth. (CPR)
  4. People are moving away from the metro area in droves and guess where they're going? After record migration into Denver over the past 10 years, the tide is shifting, and many are leaving Denver and headed out of state. A recent study by Redfin shows that the majority of those that are packing up and leaving Colorado are headed to this Midwest city. (KBCO)
  5. All eggs sold in Colorado will soon be only from cage free birds. Beginning Jan. 1, a new Colorado law that prohibits the sale of non-cage-free eggs goes into effect. That means that all eggs sold at grocery stores around the state will be required to be from cage-free hens. (Out There)
