ORIGINAL POST:
Boulder Police and Boulder Fire-Rescue are currently at the Boulder Main Library for the report of a suspicious package. The library is closed and is currently being evacuated to err on the side of safety for our community.

Boulder bomb squad is en route and the closure is likely to take a few hours as bomb squad checks and clears the suspicious package. More information will be provided as we have it.

Speeding. Check.
Temporary Instruction Permit. Check.
Mandatory court date. Also check.

Officer Parker recently clocked a young driver going 90 mph in a 60-mph zone as she was driving into Boulder on U.S. 36. It’s both an expensive and dangerous start to one’s driving experience.

Please slow down Boulder.

Speeding is one of the top causes of crashes in the City of Boulder according to crash data. Please help us keep everyone safe and achieve Vision, Zero, our shared community goal to reduce the number of severe crashes (fatalities and serious injuries) to zero.

At its core, this goal is inspired by the belief that traffic collisions are preventable, and even one fatality is too many. Vision Zero employs both a location-specific and a systemwide approach that is targeted, reactive and proactive through a transformative set of actions that prioritize travel safety for everyone.

Boulder has five Vision Zero goals:
Eliminate crashes resulting in serious injuries and fatalities.
Reduce other types of crashes.
Improve travel comfort and safety.
Enhance awareness of and community engagement with Vision Zero.
Improve data and be transparent.
