Community Awareness
Open house scheduled for IBM trail connector
The city of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) Department and
Boulder County Transportation will hold a community environmental assessment
process (CEAP) report open house for the IBM trail connector from 4
to 7 p.m. on Monday, May 5, at the United Methodist Church, 7405 Lookout
Road (75th and Lookout Road). The IBM trail connector is a proposed trail
connection between the Cottontail Trail in Gunbarrel and the Boulder Reservoir.
The general plan is to construct a new trail under the Diagonal Highway
northeast of 63rd Street.
Public is invited to drop by at any time during the open house to discuss
the report with city and county staff and provide feedback. CEAPs are
used by the city of Boulder to involve the public, document issues and
analyze project alternatives.
The draft CEAP report is available online at the city's Web site at www.osmp.org located under the "Public Meetings" link or at the OSMP administrative
offices, 66 S. Cherryvale Road.

OPEN SPACE- Dog Management Video
The city of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) Department has released
a video about voice and sight control dog management. The 11-minute video
was produced locally by the city of Boulder’s Channel 8 and OSMP. It is designed to help dog guardians understand voice and sight control standards and help reduce conflicts that can occur with visitors, other dogs and wildlife.
The video is a component of the city of Boulder's voice
and sight dog tag program which will begin this summer.
The program requires dog guardians who wish to walk dogs
off-leash under voice and sight control to watch the
video, register for the program and display special dog
tags on their dogs.
