The NCS™ is presented by NRC in collaboration with ICMA. NRC is a charter member of the AAPOR Transparency Initiative, providing clear disclosure of our sound and ethical survey research practices. About The National Citizen Survey™ (The NCS) report is about the “livability” of Erie. The phrase “livable community” is used here to evoke a place that is not simply habitable, but that is desirable. It is not only where people do live, but where they want to live. Great communities are partnerships of the government, private sector, community-based organizations and residents, all geographically connected. The NCS captures residents’ opinions Residents within the three pillars of a community (Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation) across eight central facets of community (Safety, Mobility, Natural Environment, Built Environment, Economy, Recreation and Wellness, Education and Communities Community- Enrichment and Community Engagement). Private are based sector partnerships organizations The Community Livability Report provides the opinions of a representative sample of 1,100 among... residents of the Town of Erie. The margin of error around any reported percentage is 3% for all respondents. The full description of methods used to garner these opinions can be found in the Technical Appendices provided under separate cover. Government 1 Quality of Life in Erie Most residents rated the quality of life in Erie as excellent or good. This rating was similar to the national benchmark (see Appendix B of Overall Quality of Life Excellent the Technical Appendices provided under separate cover). 30% Shown below are the eight facets of community. The color of each Poor community facet summarizes how residents rated it across the three 1% sections of the survey that represent the pillars of a community – Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation. When most Fair 11% ratings across the three pillars were higher than the benchmark, the Good color for that facet is the darkest shade; when most ratings were lower 58% than the benchmark, the color is the lightest shade. A mix of ratings (higher and lower than the benchmark) results in a color between the extremes. In addition to a summary of ratings, the image below includes one or more stars to indicate which community facets were the most important focus areas for the

  • A History of Boulder's Transportation, 1858 - 1984 Boulder, Colorado March 1984
    A History of Boulder's Transportation, 1858 - 1984 Boulder, Colorado March 1984 Prepared for the Transportation Division City of Boulder, Colorado By Phyllis Smith Young Boulder's economic survival was dependent upon the construction of mountain wagon roads to gold and silver mines. This road, well above timberline, was constructed from the Fourth of July mine, over Arapaho Pass, across the Continental Divide into Grand County for a short way. Grand County was to continue the wagon road but did not find the money to do so. Left at top, Mount Neva with the Dorothy Lake basin below. Note the wagon road line at center background. These young men have taken off their hats to pose for the camera while clearing an avalanche from the roadway. photo, western Historical Collections, University of Colorado at Boulder. Dedicated to O.H. Wangelin, editor Boulder County Herald who, in 1888, while reflecting upon the bellicose nature of Boulder residents, said, "Human nature . there is considerable of it in Boulder."1 I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the following people in the preparation of this article: Virginia Braddock, "Boots" Dolder, and Connie Walker, municipal reference librarians, Boulder Public Library; Lois Anderton, Carnegie Branch Library For Local History; Imogene Easton, City of Boulder’s central files; Laurence T.

Displayed with permission • The American Surveyor • March • Copyright 2009 Cheves Media • www.Amerisurv.com A LINE RUNS THROUGH It PLSC Supports New 40th Parallel Exhibit he northern Front Range of what is now Colorado was a pristine wilderness well into the 1850s, trampled only by a small number of trappers and explorers, and by the light footprints of native peoples who had inhabited the area for over a millennium. These halcyon days changed quickly with the discovery of gold in nearby Golden, resulting in thousands of settlers moving onto public domain lands that had not yet been surveyed. In 1859, the land at the mouth of Boulder Canyon was officially established as the Boulder City Town Company. It was located north of the 40th parallel in the Nebraska Territory; the land to the south of the 40th parallel at this time was in the Kansas Territory. Colorado statehood was to come 17 years later. Extending the 40th Parallel Westward The General Land Office was under pressure to extend the Baseline to the west from the 6th Principal Meridian. On June 10, 1859, U. S. Deputy Surveyors Jarret Todd and James Withrow were awarded the contract to extend the baseline to the summit of the Rockies, starting 204 miles west of the Missouri River, and making their way across the plains until arriving in Boulder City on August 31 of that year.

Appendix E CDOT State Highway 7 – Stakeholder Kickoff Meeting Summary Date: Wednesday, December 14, 2011, 9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Location: Erie Community Center, Briggs Room, 450 Powers St., Erie, CO WELCOME, INTRODUCTIONS AND OPENING REMARKS David Kosmiski, Project Manager of the State Highway 7 Planning and Environmental Linkage (SH 7 PEL) Study from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), greeted the group and explained that CDOT is looking forward to the partnership between the local agencies, the resource agencies and CDOT in completing the SH 7 PEL. Bob Felsburg, the SH 7 PEL Project Manager from Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig (FHU), facilitated introductions. PROJECT OVERVIEW Bob Felsburg outlined several important features of the SH 7 PEL Study, including the following: Future Growth Along SH 7: Communities along SH 7 are experiencing and will experience rapid population growth. Therefore, the SH 7 PEL is a timely and important Study to effectively prepare for addressing potential growth demands. Diverse Study Area: The Study area includes SH 7 between U.S. 287 in Lafayette/Boulder County and U.S. 85 in Brighton / Adams County. Segment characteristics vary throughout the corridor, as do the land uses. Three Principles for the SH 7 PEL: Bob outlined the three key principles for the project: 1) to create a vision for the corridor that captures the commonalities and recognizes the unique characteristics of each community so that the jurisdictions can have cohesive plans for the future; 2) to build broad support for an implementable alternative with agency staff, elected officials and members of the public; and 3) to lay the framework for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements throughout the Study, so that the jurisdictions have a strong foundation for a subsequent NEPA process if required for implementing strategies outlined in the PEL.
