Two suspects wanted in connection with attack on couple
A husband and wife walking together in downtown Boulder called 9-1-1 after two suspects attacked the husband, allegedly punching him in the face several times. The victim refused medical treatment, but was injured in the attack. The incident took place on Saturday, June 16, around 12:45 a.m. in the area of Broadway and Spruce Streets.
The victim told police that he and his wife were walking through the parking garage at 2028 11th St. when four males in an SUV approached them and made lewd comments toward his wife. The husband told the men in the SUV that he didn’t appreciate the remarks, and the couple continued walking through the garage and out to the street.
Suspect 1
While walking northbound on Broadway, two of the unknown males came up behind the couple and began punching the husband after calling him an obscenity. The wife was not hurt during the attack. She tried to help her husband but was pushed away because he was worried about her safety. The victim says he did not hit the suspects.
The two suspects ran away when the victim told them he was calling police. Officers canvassed the area but weren’t able to locate the men.
It’s believed the two men involved in the attack came from the SUV the couple first encountered in the parking garage. They think the vehicle is possibly a blue Jeep Liberty. The victims weren’t able to provide a license plate number. They did provide descriptions of the two suspects, and composite sketches are attached. (Suspects are wearing ball caps in sketches. Photo of similar ball cap is also attached).
Suspect 2
Both suspects are white males. One suspect is 6’4” tall, weighs about 260 pounds and has short brown hair. He wore an oversized yellow shirt and blue jeans.
The second suspect is approximately 5’10”, weighs between 195 to 210 pounds, and has brown hair. He wore baggy blue jeans and an oversized green T-shirt. Both of the suspects wore all-white baseball-style caps with flat brims.
The case number is 12-8022.
Police are asking anyone with information about this attack to contact Det. Heather Frey at 303-441-3369. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or 1-800-444-3776.

R U ready for CONE ZONE HELL in Boulder this summer??
Jun 15th
Summer transportation and utilities construction ramps up
As the summer season progresses, additional construction may be noticeable to those traveling around Boulder as the city continues to improve the community’s transportation and utilities infrastructure. Although construction projects happen throughout the year, the city schedules more work during the summer months to take advantage of warmer temperatures, longer days and less traffic. During summer 2012, construction crews will be working to replace aging waterlines, resurface city streets and improve travel options.
All active projects and the associated traffic impacts will be updated weekly at
www.boulderconezones.net. Some of the major summer construction projects with potential traffic impacts are summarized below.
2012 Street Resurfacing Projects
The city’s annual street resurfacing projects began in May and will continue through the fall. More than 60 city streets are targeted for either chip seal, resurfacing (overlay) or reconstruction in 2012. View a list and map of streets planned for resurfacing and reconstruction.
In general, these projects will involve daytime traffic impacts, intermittent lane or road closures, and parking restrictions. More streets are scheduled for resurfacing than in past summers as a result of the 2011 voter-approved Capital Improvement Bond; however, budgeting and project coordination may cause some of the projects to be put on the list for next year.
Broadway (Euclid to 18th) Transportation Improvements Project
Construction on Broadway, between Euclid Avenue and 18th Street, is currently on schedule to be completed by mid-August 2012. For more information about the project, visit www.bouldertransportation.net.
2012 Boulder Waterline Replacement Project
Beginning on Monday, June 18, and continuing through mid-November, construction crews will be working to replace corroded waterlines throughout Boulder. The annual waterline replacement project involves temporarily disconnecting then reconnecting water service.Significant delays and traffic impacts are expected while crews work across the intersection of Alpine Avenue and 19th Street during the week of June 18.
The waterline replacements will improve the city’s water distribution system, including service reliability and water quality. The city has coordinated utilities and transportation improvements so that the streets impacted by the construction will be patched after the waterlines are replaced and then repaved as part of the city’s annual pavement resurfacing program.
More information about the 2012 Boulder Waterline Replacement Project is available at www.boulderwater.net.
2012 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project
This project will begin on Monday, June 18, and involves the rehabilitation of sanitary sewer lines at various locations throughout the city. In general, motorists can expect intermittent delays, daytime lane closures and parking restrictions at the work sites. Individual work sites and times will be scheduled on a weekly basis and posted at www.boulderconezones.net. The project is scheduled for completion by September.

More fire restrictions in Boulder open space &mt. parks

City implements additional fire restrictions for Open Space & Mountain Parks
The City of Boulder has implemented a City Manager’s Rule banning fire and smoking on all Open Space & Mountain Parks properties. OSMP imposes these bans during extreme fire hazard conditions for public safety and resource protection. Fire danger is currently at a very high level.
“As we can tell from the tragic fire in Larimer County, and as we know all too well here in Boulder, dry conditions can be very dangerous,” said Eric Stone, division manager for OSMP. “We are asking the public to take all precautions possible to prevent a fire on open space and in our community.”
The ban includes smoking and the use of any cook stoves on OSMP lands. The sheriff’s office has already put a ban in place that makes it illegal to use charcoal grills or campfires anywhere in Boulder County. The new OSMP ban could be lifted if and when fire conditions change. Violators are subject to criminal prosecution with penalties up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
OSMP and firefighters would appreciate the cooperation from the public in this important matter.
For more information on OSMP, please call 303-441-3440 or visit www.osmp.org
