Here are the top three stories in Colorado Springs today:

1. Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services announced that motorized boating will now be allowed on Prospect Lake this summer. The lake at Memorial Park originally banned motorized boats in February due to the installation of an aeration system meant to increase water turnover. However, the installation has been delayed.
