Comment on Boulder threatening to close open space parks if crowding continues amid coronavirus pandemic

Boulder threatening to close open space parks if crowding continues amid coronavirus pandemic

Boulder officials on Tuesday put a city open space system closure on the table as a potential step to ensure compliance with social distancing requirements meant to slow the global coronavirus spread locally, but less stringent measures are going to be tried first. City leaders are also continuing to struggle with dispersing gatherings of sizes against public health recommendations at private residences throughout Boulder, especially among University of Colorado students. Officials have received requests for an open space closure, as open space visitation is booming in good weather even on weekdays, which is atypical for this time of year. “Closure is something that on the sidelines we are putting plans together for how it would work and how it would be rolled out,” Boulder open space director Dan Burke said.
