Shop downtown and get free parking–maybe
Nov 26th
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.
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.

Improvements to 15th Street (Arapahoe to Canyon) scheduled to begin next week
Aug 23rd
The city will be adding new, wider sidewalks, trees and grates, an irrigation system, bike racks, recycling and trash receptacles, poles for “15th Street Design District” banners, and new light-emitting diode (LED) streetlights that the city will own and operate.
The city is also collaborating with Boulder High School students to create public art for the new 15th Street design. The student-inspired art includes a creative metal railing and sidewalk prints that gradually transition from human footprints to panther paw prints between Canyon Boulevard and Arapahoe Avenue. The foot and paw prints will be sandblasted and painted into the 15th Street sidewalks, along with design-related quotes.
“Fifteenth Street is an important corridor for Boulder businesses, students, residents and visitors,” said Executive Director of Downtown, University Hill and Parking Services Molly Winter. “The streetscape improvements will enhance the vibrant culture and unique character of the 15th Street Design District.”
The 15th Street (Arapahoe to Canyon) Streetscape Improvements are funded by the 2011 voter-approved Capital Improvement Bond.
