“Happy New Year from the Boulder Lifestyle Team!

As we settle back into reality, that sense of normalcy and routine come crashing back. As the year resets, we crave a bit of that ourselves, as well as kickstarting some new healthy habits. But how many years do you make resolutions that don’t quite stick? This year we are taking those resolutions down to the studs and keeping the goal an overarching slow down.”

In 1971, Boulder voters capped building heights at 55 feet, marking a pivotal moment in the city’s commitment to preserving its natural character.
