Boulder Bridge House helps the homeless
Oct 18th
Jann talks with a coordinator from the Boulder Bridge House and we learn about a lot of the things they do to help the community and Boulder’s homeless people and people with substance abuse. The Bridge House provides services like helping get ID’s, Birth Certificates, helping people fill out resumes, and with job interviews, getting food stamps, providing food and medical services, basically anything they can do to help they try and do so. Visit their websites at Boulderbridgehouse.org and find out more.

Umba means “sister” in Balinese from the first place we brought back worldly treasures to share, and later found out it means the “process of creation” in Swahili. Starting with music festivals Umba has evolved into a synergistic force in the community.

Summer nightmare on Arapahoe between Folsom and 17th
Feb 24th
The City of Boulder invites the community to an open-house meeting for the upcoming Arapahoe Avenue Reconstruction project on Monday, Feb. 25, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. in the Creekside Room at the West Senior Center, 909 Arapahoe Ave. Please attend the meeting to learn more about the proposed transportation improvements and the anticipated construction timeline, traffic impacts, and detours associated with the project.
Arapahoe Avenue, between Folsom Street and approximately 17th Street, is in poor condition and in need of a reconstruction. The proposed improvements include:
• reconstructing Arapahoe Avenue into concrete between Folsom and 17th streets, and potentially
continuing to 15th Street, as funding allows;
• reconstructing deteriorated sidewalks and driveways, installing ADA-compliant curb ramps, and
widening sidewalks, where space allows;
• extension of the student-drop off area and multi-use path on the south side of Arapahoe Avenue
along the Boulder High School property;
• improving underground utilities and installing storm sewers; and
• improving urban design, landscaping and transit stops, as funding allows.
The reconstruction is planned to begin in late May 2013 and will be completed in fall 2013. The project is funded by the 2011 voter-approved Capital Improvement Bond, which allowed the city to leverage existing revenues to bond for approximately $49 million to fund projects that address significant deficiencies, such as this one, and high priority infrastructure improvements.
