All Boulder OSMP properties closed until further notice
Sep 15th
In the wake of torrential rain and flooding, the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) department requests that citizens respect an emergency order and stay off all OSMP properties. The flooding has caused rockslides and mudslides, which have led to the destabilized bridges and other significant hazards.
Many trees have had their roots compromised, and there is a danger they may come down suddenly. Rocks have also been tumbling down hillsides and they could cause serious injury. Staff needs time to identify and mitigate these dangerous situations.
“Teams that normally assist injured people on OSMP are busy with search and rescue effort around the county,” said Joe Reale, OSMP’s ranger supervisor. “First responder resources are limited at this time.”
OSMP staff members are working hard at assessing the damage. OSMP will reopen areas of the system when it is determined that areas are safe and that users will not be causing additional resource damage.
City Manager Jane Brautigam issued an emergency order Thursday (Sept. 12) afternoon that closed all OSMP properties in response to rain and flooding that has caused these safety concerns. The order is in effect until further notice.

Longmont cut in half; evacuations requested
Sep 13th
City of Longmont officials are also requesting that residents in neighborhoods and subdivisions south of Quail Road between Main Street and 119th Street due to flooding along Dry Creek. They are asked to evacuate to Niwot high School.
National Guard troops will be gathering with heavy, high-clearance vehicles on Highway 66 west of Longmont to assess the highway into the Town of Lyons and determine if it is safe and possible to enter and take out people who have been trapped there since Wednesday. All roads into and out of Lyons have been washed out or underwater for the past two days.
Officials urge all Boulder County residents to stay home if at all possible. And if they must drive, do not cross any standing or moving water in roadways.
