is it accessible to people with ability or mobility issues is park signage in more than one language
i believe that we have a large amount of land available in the planning reserve that is technically owned by parks
that land is all in the planning reserve so it's not really accessible in the short term but in the medium to long term it is
the area 3 planning reserve you all might remember most recently during some of the cu south discussions
during some of the cu south discussions i believe a couple years ago
osmp bvsd is a really important one for us as well and we're updating our joint use agreement
i'm thinking about like boulder housing partner sites um a lot of the the bhp sites have really nice community centers
adjusted for updated 2021 capital expenditure goals based on updated cip information through 2027
20.5 million dollars in backlog maintenance and 177.9 million dollars in unfunded capital projects
which is why the financial strategies committee um recommended the 10 percent
we are a very very high sales tax town we are a high property tax town
that's typically paid with just our typical funding sources that we do all capital improvements
we have an overall lens of resilience and focus on our climate with the climate emergency
when we redo a recreation center or enhance a pool
generally speaking water takes a lot of energy to heat and cool and so you know how we're managing our pools
the three polls use up something like 80 percent of the city's energy
one of the things that we could do cap capital expense wise um to addre to meet our climate goals
a lot of the discussion about climate goals and how we can address our climate goals
we've worked with many of our partners such as boulder housing partners to have one door
pursuing the annexation of important areas such as the san lazaro mobile home community
how do these changes compare to what is currently planned in the bvcp
this could contribute between 580 and 1100 new permanently affordable units
enhancements to our existing network that we have proposed in the next update to the transportation master plan
we'll be contracting with shared e-bike and e-scooter vendors to provide community members with these shared devices
which will help with the heat island effect help with aesthetics and help with place making
in addition to the e-bikes these scooters connections to transit
related to housing um boards members wanted more detail about the types of housing products that might be built in east boulder
sub-community plans are used um for guidance in development review and then for those far numbers
sub-community plans are used um for guidance in development review and then for those far numbers
what consideration has been given to a possible annexation and um is that or could that be a goal of the area plan
the sound loss at a mobile home park and how there's been outreach done to the residents
yeah annexation of of that area is a recommendation included in the in the draft plan
we've talked about art and culture amenities public art as well as looking at small business incubation
whether it's centralized parking or public art localized micro mobility options
how do we incentivize middle income housing units in this area whether it's owned or rental
in addition to their inclusionary housing low-income housing that would be really really swell
it wiped out a bunch of affordable middle-income housing it was rental but it is gone now
i would like to see the go going from a recommendation to a goal of annexing san lazaro
make some changes to the boulder valley comprehensive plan in 2025 that would set some policies
