Growth or No Growth for Boulder ? vote
Oct 1st
Boulder 14 city council candidates give their platform (more or less) in 35 minutes. The deciding factor is are they Pro growth or Not? The pro-growth candidates are tricky and not forth coming. They use buzz words as “business, economy, startups, technology”
The problem with Pro-growthers is that they have been brainwashed by business concerns to believe they are meeting the need.
The Boulder economy is the best on Colorado and the Job rate is excellent.. Now comes protecting what we have built over the past 100 years.Boulder could end up looking like South east Denver with your wrong vote.
It looks to us that these will most likely be the elected officials: Ed Byrnes, Cyndy Carlisle, Bill Rigler, Sam Weaver and Mary Young. They are the strongest candidates and the most progressive. As it happens they will be no growthers and put an end to the out of control building downtown.

Shop downtown and get free parking–maybe

City offers holiday parking coupons to encourage shopping downtown
City of Boulder parking services will roll out several parking promotions for the holiday season to encourage shoppers to shop downtown.
Beginning Friday, Nov. 29 and running through Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2013, parking enforcement officers will surprise shoppers each day by randomly handing out coupons for “three hours FREE parking” at downtown pay station parking. Parking enforcement officers will look for customers who are en route to a pay station and have not yet paid, and give them a coupon. The randomly chosen customers will place the coupon on their dash, just like a pay station receipt. The offer will be valid only for the day the customer receives the coupon.
Free downtown parking coupons will be handed out
Additionally, the city will provide downtown merchants with 30,000 one-hour free parking coupons, valid from Friday, Nov. 29 until Friday, Jan. 31, 2014. These coupons will be honored at the St Julien and the 15th/Pearl garages only
Twenty-two thousand Boulder water utility bills sent out in November contained a flyer highlighting holiday events and a coupon for one-hour free at the 15th/Pearl and St Julien garages only. Downtown Boulder, Inc. also sent out 12,000 mailers that highlighted holiday events in Downtown Boulder and included a one-hour free parking coupon for 15th/Pearl garage only.

Smoking ban on Pearl Street Mall has Teeth
Mar 21st
Enforcement of smoking ban on Pearl Street Mall begins April 1
The ordinance banning smoking on the Pearl Street Mall went into effect on Jan. 18, 2013. The ordinance bans all smoking between 11th and 15th streets on the Pearl Street Mall, and on the lawn of the Boulder County Courthouse. The maximum penalty for a first or second offense within two years is a fine of $500; a third and subsequent conviction within two years triggers the general penalty provision of a maximum $1,000 fine and/or maximum of 90 days in jail.
Boulder police officers who patrol on the Pearl Street Mall have been educating people about the smoking ban since it went into effect, and have not written any tickets while the signs were being manufactured. On Monday, April 1, the ordinance will be fully implemented, and enforcement will begin.
Signs were ordered after City Council approved the ordinance in December; however there was a delay in the sign manufacturing. The signs on the mall are custom enameled and take longer to fabricate. The enamel signs are more resistant to graffiti and other tampering.
The city is collaborating with several partners, including Boulder County Public Health and Downtown Boulder, Inc. (DBI), to create a coordinated educational campaign for downtown employees and visitors about the smoking ban on the mall. A celebration event will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Friday, April 12, on the 1300 block of the Pearl Street Mall, where county, city and DBI staff will be available to answer questions about the smoking ban and about free resources available for individuals who wish to quit smoking.
