Occupy Boulder? Not overnight. No potty, sleeping or dogs, either

County enforcing existing rules governing Courthouse plaza
Boulder County, Colo. – The Board of County Commissioners supports peaceful assembly and asks only that protesters follow established rules for use of the Boulder County Courthouse Plaza.
City of Boulder ordinances state that camping is illegal. Boulder County has not given its permission for the installation of tents nor for the overnight and residential use of its property, and supports the city police department’s-
enforcement of this regulation. Dogs also are not allowed and neither is using the plaza as a restroom.
“We absolutely understand people’s desire to gather and protest, whether as part of the Occupy movement or any cause,” Commissioner Ben Pearlman said. “However, in the interest of public health and safety, we can’t allow camping in front of the Courthouse. We apply these rules consistently, no matter the subject, in order to be fair and equitable.”
In addition to the no camping, no dogs and no public urination rules, gatherings of more than 25 persons need to get a permit from Boulder County. Use of that permit is allowed from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. Boulder County encourages people to freely gather and discuss issues peacefully during these times.

Construction on Broadway to begin Wednesday
Starting on Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2011, the Broadway (Euclid to 18th) Transportation Improvements Project will begin construction. The project, previously on hold for federal historic and environmental clearances, was put out for a competitive bid process and a contractor was chosen in late September. The construction along Broadway is expected to take approximately nine months to complete and will be finished by fall 2012.
In general, traffic impacts for fall/winter 2011 include:
- Daytime off-peak lane closures on Broadway, Euclid, and 16th Streets;
- Detours along the Broadway multi-use path near Euclid Avenue; and
- Closures of the northbound bus stop near Euclid Avenue.
- Opening a temporary southbound Broadway left lane at 18th Street
Beginning in late 2011/early 2012, full-time lane reductions on Broadway (from two thru lanes in each direction to one thru lane in each direction) and closure of the cross-streets (16th and Euclid) will be necessary to construct the underpass beneath Broadway. For weekly traffic updates, visitwww.boulderconezones.net.
For those traveling through the city, alternate routes are advised. For those traveling on Broadway, alternative modes like walking, biking and taking the bus are good options. Otherwise, please travel slowly and use caution in construction zones.
Remaining project improvements include:
- Construction of a pedestrian/bicycle underpass beneath Broadway at 16th/Euclid;
- Expansion of the northbound and southbound transit stops with additional transit amenities;
- Changing the existing Broadway/Euclid/16th four-way intersection into two “T” intersections;
- Broadway multi-use path improvements; and
- Functional art, urban design, landscaping/irrigation lighting improvements.
Improvements to the Broadway and 18th Street intersection were completed in summer 2011. The newly configured intersection is currently open to traffic, and provides the main vehicular access point from this part of campus to southbound Broadway.
The local match for this project was composed of funding from five agencies: City of Boulder, Boulder County, RTD, CU – including land donation and funding from University of Colorado Student Union and Vice Chancellor for Administration.
