City expands enforcement of bear protection ordinance to additional neighborhoods
The City of Boulder will begin enforcing the requirement that all residents and businesses west of Broadway and south of Sumac Avenue secure waste from bears starting Wednesday, June 15. Enforcement of the “bear protection zone” is part of the city’s bear protection ordinance, which was passed by City Council in March 2014.
To comply with the ordinance, residents and businesses in this zone must obtain and properly use bear-resistant trash bins or dumpsters or use waste enclosures. Proper use includes not overfilling and properly securing or latching bins, dumpsters and enclosures. Waste must not be left outside the waste containers. Bins and dumpsters must be latched shut at all times.
Starting Wednesday, Boulder Police Department code compliance officers will enforce the ordinance. They will not be giving warnings. Fines for first offenses are $250, with fines of $500 and $1,000 for second and third violations.
The goal of the measure is to reduce the food that bears can find in the neighborhoods in Boulder where bear sightings most commonly occur. Bears who forage successfully in urban areas lose their fear of people, which can lead to threatening and aggressive behavior and the bear’s removal or killing. The city has been enforcing the ordinance in many neighborhoods west of Broadway since October 2014.
Information about the ordinance, plus tips about how to be bear safe, can be found online at bouldercolorado.gov/wildlife. Residents and businesses who wish to learn more about obtaining proper waste receptacles should contact their waste disposal company.

Boulder Traffic Alert Today October 28th during GOP debates on Campus
Oct 27th
The City of Boulder anticipates several localized traffic delays on Wednesday, Oct. 28 related to the Republican Presidential candidate debate to be held in the Coors Event Center on the University of Colorado-Boulder campus. 
Light traffic impacts will occur throughout the day as candidates, media and attendees arrive on campus. The combination of national media, groups exercising First Amendment rights, candidates and related security details, and the normal rush hour traffic may cause significant delays on Broadway, US 36, and around campus later in the day.
Drivers wishing to avoid potential traffic congestion may wish to use alternate routes or adjust their travel schedules. Rolling road closures and traffic delays are expected on Broadway between Arapahoe Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue between 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.as attendees and advocacy groups arrive and between 8:15 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. when the debate adjourns. Regent Drive has been closed for the debate.
Debate ticket holders are expected to be onsite between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. The majority of attendees for the debate are expected to be bused to campus from offsite locations, use public transportation or walk to the event.
CU also is providing a Free Speech Zone on campus at the Business Field, just north of the Coors Event Center; this area will be open to the public from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednesday. The city has approved three advocacy permits related to the debate for groups who expect to exercise their First Amendment rights. One group intends to be entirely on campus. Two others plan to gather in Central Park at 3 p.m. and walk to the Free Speech Zone between 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Advocacy groups have indicated that many participants will be bused into the city as there is no event parking associated with the debate.
The debate will be televised on CNBC, and candidates are expected to be in place well in advance of the event. For more information on the debate, go to Colorado.edu/rnc-debate.
