The Colorado Court of Appeals upheld the City of Boulder’s camping ban ordinance, rejecting arguments that the law violated the constitutional rights of unhoused residents who cannot access indoor shelter. The ruling is a blow to a lengthy effort by civil rights advocates to halt enforcement of the ordinance, first adopted in 1980, which allows police officers to ticket homeless people for sleeping in public spaces with “any cover or protection from the elements other than clothing.” In 2022, the ACLU of Colorado sued the city on behalf of Feet Forward, a now-dissolved homelessness services or

The first draft of America’s next major federal transportation law threatens big cuts to transit and a mixed bag for active modes — and some advocates say it doesn’t even have significant guardrails to prevent President Trump from trampling on the handful of positive provisions it does have. Late on Sunday, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee released its version of the bill that will replace the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that expires on Sept. 30, sounding the starting bell on the marathon reauthorization process that many expect to stretch even past that loose deadline.

Boulder County has identified six potential wildlife crossing locations along U.S. 36 between Boulder and Lyons and is moving into early engineering work as Colorado prepares to create a new statewide funding source for wildlife collision prevention projects. The proposed crossings, which could include overpasses, underpasses and fencing between Nelson and Hygiene roads, are intended to reduce collisions along one of Colorado’s deadliest highway corridors for wildlife. The effort received a boost this spring after state lawmakers passed legislation creating an optional $5 vehicle registration

Homelessness among adults was flat, and may even have declined, around Denver and across the state in 2025. But that larger trend masks a troubling rise in homelessness for families and young people. That’s according to the 2025 State of Homelessness report from the Metro Denver Homelessness Initiative (MDHI). The group tracks and manages the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s homelessness funding and oversees the annual Point-in-Time Count. In the Denver metro area, 35,601 people experienced homelessness last year, according to data collected by MDHI. That’s the majority of the rou

In the years since, it has attracted enough subscribers to place it in the top 1 percent of active YouTube channels.

Across the country, communities are pushing back against rising electricity bills, massive utility spending plans and waves of new data center development that consume energy, land and water while offering few visible local gains. As utilities pursue one of the largest energy investment cycles in generations, state lawmakers are increasingly caught between rising demand and households asking a simple question: What’s in it for us? So far, the dominant answer has largely been promises of future reliability, fuzzy plans around economic growth, and systemwide benefits while households continue ab

Editor’s note: A version of this article originally appeared on KRWG Public Media. It is republished with permission. Rising fuel prices may feel like an economic burden — but they also reveal a larger issue about how communities are designed. For decades, many American cities prioritized cars over people. As a result, families now spend large portions of their income simply moving from one place to another, even for trips that could reasonably be walked or biked if proper infrastructure existed. *But what if part of the solution is not simply cheaper gas?

More and more often in construction zones, I am seeing white Ford SUVs and cars with red and blue flashing lights; they very much look like police cars just without the markings. Today, I saw one of these cars with Montana plates. I assume they want the appearance of police presence to ensure safety around construction workers, but it feels to me that this is a misrepresentation of authority. Do these cars (and the people in them) have any law enforcement responsibility? What are the laws regulating the use of red and blue emergency lights?
