Walk & Bike MONTH in Boulder adds new Event!
As part of Boulder's Walk & Bike Month, June 13 has been declared Park(ing) Space Day. To celebrate, take over a parking space from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (or all day). What can you do with 8 by 17 feet of concrete? Run a bike repair station. Offer an exercise class. Better yet, chair massages! If you tend toward the fanciful, move in a ping-pong table, croquet game (you'll need some sod), or a hopscotch board. Or create an oasis with Astro turf, patio furniture, potted palms and free lemonade. What's the point? Park(ing) Spaces raise awareness of the trade-off between space for cars vs. space for humans. If we reduce our dependence on parking spaces, how could we permanently reclaim them? More housing or outdoor dining, more trees and more water - paved parking lots generate excess water that goes directly to storm drains instead of remaining in the soil. If you want to create a Park(ing) Space, support or utilize one - contact Walk & Bike Month Coordinator Sue Prant at 303-564-968 or e- mail. | |||

The city Boulder will return to its roots this summer by offering free transit service to passengers traveling between downtown Boulder and Chautauqua Park. The "HOP 2 Chautauqua" will use HOP buses as a part of a three month pilot service. The service will run every 15 minutes, seven-days-a-week, from noon to 10 p.m. beginning May 10 through August 24, with extended hours and service to the Williams Village east parking lot on Chautauqua concert nights. The route circles downtown and runs along 9th Street and Baseline Road, and will include major stops at Pearl and 13th streets and the 27th Way park-n-Ride.

Our goal is to provide service to 500 riders each day, bringing more people and fewer cars to the park." "HOP 2 Chautauqua" funding is provided through a partnership of GO Boulder/city of Boulder, Colorado Chautauqua Association, Colorado Music Festival, Downtown and University Hill Management Division/Parking Services, Downtown Boulder, Inc., and the Boulder Convention and Visitor's Bureau.

 At Work |
The city of Boulder's ClimateSmart campaign is partnering with GO Boulder to provide Boulder businesses the tools they need to become sustainable. ClimateSmart at Work provides you with the framework to reduce your corporate carbon footprint and save money by going green. Whether you are looking for easy, meaningful first steps to becoming green or want to implement sophisticated carbon footprint reduction practices, you will benefit from the free assistance the ClimateSmart at Work program offers.
Some of the strategies will take administrative changes to your work space, others depend on your employees to make small changes in the way they use resources. We provide in-house workshops for your employees, free energy and commute trip assessments and will help you identify the best actions for your business to take. The areas of focus are energy efficiency, waste reduction, water conservation, commute trip consultation and green fleets. People in Boulder and Boulder County are already seeking businesses that share their sustainable, climate- conscious philosophy. As you begin implementing carbon footprint reducing strategies we will recognize you as a ClimateSmart Business. We're building value behind the ClimateSmart brand by recognizing ClimateSmart households and neighborhoods in Boulder. If you are already a PACE certified business, you can add the ClimateSmart Business recognition to your list of accolades. You decide which green goals you want to focus on and ClimateSmart staff will help you turn them from ideas to reality. Contact: Andrew Bascue at 303-441-1847 or e-mail. | |||
