Here are the top stories today in Lakewood:

2. Expansion of Bear Creek Lake studied by Colorado Water Conservation Board. As part of the Colorado Water Plan, which seeks to expand the storage capacity for water in Colorado, the CWCB and the Army Corps of Engineers partnered on a study to find places that could be expanded to support additional storage, which includes possibly expanding Bear Creek Lake's capacity.
