The Latigo Property at 12th & Yampa has received final approval to proceed from Steamboat Springs City Council. The vote was 4-1 in favor Tuesday night. Councilor Amy Dickson voted against the project. Councilors Agosta and Swintek were not at the meeting. Collin Kelley is managing partner.
“We’re obviously ecstatic, and we just look forward to bringing the product to market some time in 2028.”
This is the corner where Orange Peel Bikes and Double Z Restaurant used to be. The property is zoned commercial with three stories and mixed use. It is scheduled to have eight residences, a restaurant, and downtown parking spaces. Kelley says construction is planned to begin in the fall.

School is out for the summer and kids will be out and about more now. AAA is launching an “E-Ride Ready” campaign to help parents know about the risk of kids on e-bikes and e-scooters. Here’s Skyler McKinley with AAA.
“Kids across Routt and Moffat counties are out for the summer and they’re coming out of school, and at the same time, we’ve seen this huge emergence in the popularity of e-bikes and e-scooters. They really fundamentally give kids a lot more freedom. But parents should be aware that these e-bikes and e-scooters are fundamentally different than bicycles. Because they can achieve higher speeds, there’s some specific safety considerations parents need to know about, one, before they get their kids an e-bike, and two, before they let their kids go out regularly with this new technology.”
AAA has released a newE-Ride Safety Guide. AAA has released a comprehensive free resource that helps families:
- Understand how e-bikes and e-scooters operate
- Choose helmets designed for the speed and type of device
- Identify where riders can safely and legally ride
- Set clear safety expectations before a child’s first ride:
- Wear a helmet every ride
- No phone use and no earbuds
- No riding at night without lights
- No passengers
Federal law says e-bikes are lower speed, with fully operable pedals with a top speed of 20 to 28 miles per hour. Some higher-speed e-motorcycles sometimes used by teenagers require a driver’s license and registration.
All of those rules in the E-Ride Safety Guide are on our website.
