Sections of the Core Trail through Steamboat Springs that are impassable will be marked and closed. This picture is from the 13th Street Bridge, next to the library on Tuesday afternoon.

 

Dry Creek in Hayden; April 25, 2023

In Hayden, Dry Creek has been receding. If residents have extra sandbags, you can put them out in front of your house and Public Works will come by and pick them up this Saturday. But they still may need to be re-used. Here’s Hayden’s Public Works Director Bryan Richards.

“What we’re looking to do is collect those already filled sandbags and put them on pallets, and have them ready to be redeployed and in other locations around town and those locations flood, maybe like the river.”

Sandbags can also be dropped off at Dry Creek Park this weekend, during Hayden Clean-up Days.

 

The old office building for the City of Steamboat Springs is being demolished right now. Tenth Street is closed during the demolition. This is where a new Fire Station and City Hall is being built.  New Fire Station & City Hall

 

The Colorado House passed Senate Bill 23-256 on second reading Tuesday, which is the Management of Gray Wolves Reintroduction. The bill would assure that livestock owners and Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers could use lethal management, if necessary, on gray wolves living in Colorado. Representative Matthew Martinez is in support of the bill, in consideration of the Latino farmers and ranchers in his district in the San Luis Valley.
