open space

​

Has there been a greater achievement in any city anywhere than what Boulder has created with respect to its Open Space? The preservation of 47,000 acres, paid for by taxes we imposed upon ourselves, and now representing the most fantastic amenity that any city has ever developed? Our Open Space is to be cherished and protected, and never, ever to be taken for granted. What percentage of our population lives here simply to be in proximity to the magnificence of the Flatirons and our Open Space? We must always provide the resources to properly fund the maintenance and repair of Boulder’s defining, essential asset.
