City paving projects on Front Range Drive and Paseo Del Prado Street
From Monday, Nov. 14, through Friday, Nov. 18, crews will be working on Front Range Drive, the gravel road north of Lee Hill Drive and west of Broadway. Front Range Drive will be closed, north of Lee Hill Drive, for approximately 200 feet for pavement construction. The gravel road is used as a transit stop by SKIP buses, and RTD will be rerouting the SKIP transit route during this time.
Also during the week of Monday, Nov. 14, Paseo Del Prado Street, between Loma Place and Links Drive, will be closed for pavement resurfacing work.
These paving projects are part of the Transportation Department’s existing work plan for 2011.
All work is weather-permitting and subject to change.

Boulder police investigating early morning homicide
At approximately 1:20 a.m. today, Friday, Oct. 28, Boulder police responded to a 911 call that was traced to the 3100 block of Pearl Street. The caller told dispatch that he had been stabbed and the suspect was still on scene. Officers arrived on scene to find two stabbing victims in what appeared to be an abandoned shed being used as shelter. Both victims were transported to Boulder Community Hospital, one with life-threatening injuries. At approximately 9:45 a.m., police learned that this victim had died in surgery. The second victim is still being treated at BCH. The suspect was arrested on-scene and is currently at the Boulder County Jail.
Both of the victims and the suspect are homeless. Both victims are white males. One is in his late 20s. The homicide victim has not yet been identified. The suspect has been identified as Charles Waters, date of birth 9/14/55. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack.
“The homeless often face dangers most of us do not have to worry about, and this is just another tragic example,” said Police Chief Mark Beckner. “There is no tolerance in our community for this sort of senseless violence. We are doing everything we can to build a solid case for prosecution.”
