Emergency Siren Testing Program

Monthly beginning in April

Boulder County will begin testing of the countywide emergency sirens in April. The audible siren tests take place on the first Monday of each month, from April through September and occur twice on each testing day, at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Siren tests ensure that all systems and procedures are working properly during the season of peak flood danger. Should Boulder County experience severe weather during one of the planned audible tests, the siren tests for that day may be cancelled.

2nd Ave Bridge Update

The Town reached a major milestone for the 2nd Avenue bridge replacement project last week. Last Thursday, Zak Dirt and their subcontractors poured the concrete bridge deck for the new single-span structure over the St. Vrain Creek. It took about six hours for the contractor to place 200 cubic yards of concrete using a skilled team and special concrete leveling equipment.

The new bridge is noticeably longer and taller than the old bridge to eliminate obstructions and accommodate design flow rates. After the bridge deck cures, the contractor will form and pour the bridge sidewalks and railings. Retaining wall construction continues this week along with placing additional embankment material and preparing bridge approaches for paving. The project is on schedule for completion this summer.

Bears are Back

Keep your trash away from bears

Signs of spring are budding up all across our region, in short hand: The bears are back in town.

“With this warm weather, bears are coming out, and they will start looking for food and see what they can find,” said Kris Middledorf, an area wildlife manager with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “There is not really a lot of natural forage available for bears (currently), so it is really important for people to be attentive.”

Taking precautions now, locking up trash and other potential food sources from bears, is important at preventing them from becoming habitually reliant on these sources for food. Bears become more of a risk when they associate humans with a food source.

“Bears that become habituated to human-supplied food resources may be put down,” Middledorf said, emphasizing that it is everyone’s personal responsibility to prevent that from happening. “It is very important for us to protect these animals and protect the public, and that is the responsibility of our community."
