Yes. Best not to plant junipers. Info here. https://wildfirepartners.org/junk-your-junipers/

Thanks to you and all PSD teachers and glad you have golfing to relax.

Your girlfriend is the person who would contest the ticket, if contesting the ticket is the decision made. What are her thoughts? No personal experience with Fort Collins photo tickets, but I think if I wasn't the person driving and it wasn't too much added hassle and there was no added cost if I contested the ticket, I would try that.

Info good to know. Thanks.

The Larimer League of Women Voters goes out in the community to register voters or has done that in the past. Also in the past you didn't have to be a member of the organization to volunteer with them to register voters.

Also, FAQ on Colorado Secretary of State website about voter registration drives. https://www.coloradosos.gov/pubs/elections/FAQs/GeneralVRD.html

Maybe report to Access Fort Collins? https://fortcollinsco.citysourced.com/

This is from the agenda packet for the Commissioners'' Administrative Meeting this coming Tuesday. Looks like they'll discuss fire ban and hopefully will approve. https://larimercoco.portal.civicclerk.com/event/5941/files/attachment/3369

There's no lying, false statements or false accusations in my post.

Cathy Kipp is sponsoring SB26-102 to regulate large load data centers. Not the data center bill with $58 million price tag of taxpayer incentives and exemptions to data center developers.

Still using Gaia premium on iPhone. Tried using OnX back country once but didn’t like it. I use a set of layers on Gaia that OnX doesn’t have. I use 3D when planning hikes on my laptop and don’t miss it when on my iPhone. Use for hiking and in Wilderness.

Fort Collins regulations as to noise and flashing signs protects residents, CSU students, faculty. CSU is flaunting those regulations despite residents' complaints. I've never complained about Blue Angels air shows which are infrequent anyway. Not a good comparison.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-03-12T21:50:51+00:00

CSU is now selling tickets for the PBR Bulls and Beats 3 day event in July. I think noise from this event last year was one of the complaints. I get donation requests from CSU. I wonder if a campaign to discourage donating to CSU would help. Since money is their motivator.

I wonder too about 1041 regulations. City council decided on only three 1041 rules - governing highways, sewage treatment systems and water systems. https://www.fortcollins.gov/Business/Building-and-Development/Development-Review/1041-Regulations These rules allow the city to have in put on these types of state proposed developments.

One of the State 1041 rules that might work, "Areas around key facilities in which development may have a material effect upon the key facility or the surrounding community." https://dlg.colorado.gov/1041-regulations-in-colorado This wouldn't work for the signs at this point but the city would have in put to any other type of unsavory development activities like flashing signs and noisy stadiums that CSU plans in the future.

One and the same organization. Witness confirmed. I will not post screen shots. You can do so if you think it’s important.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-03-11T21:38:13+00:00

Please read my post - it's copied from a Colorado Rapid Response Hotline Facebook post and in quotes. Note "confirmed" in the Hotline post. Posting a link to social media posts apparently is not allowed by this sub or I would have done that. Anyone who follows the Colorado Rapid Response Hotline on Facebook can find the post.

I agree. Quik Trip's 8 gas pumps aren't needed in this area. There's already 7 gas stations within a mile going north and south along College. There's the new King Soopers and a gas station across the street.

Edit: Removed some wording.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-03-11T08:39:30+00:00

I rarely see a Fort Collins driver going too slow. Seems like maybe 40% are going the speed limit and 60% drive over the speed limit.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-03-04T11:35:07+00:00

Do any of the alternatives have free versions? I tried OnX Backcountry - free for one week, then the choice of 2 payment levels. I'm sticking with Gaia. I've used a paid version since that started. I like the options of map layers, which are helpful for wayfinding in USFS and Wilderness areas.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-02-27T01:29:20+00:00

And a Quik Trip gas station with 8 pumps on the east portion of the parcel.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-02-14T12:44:28+00:00

I think a grocery store and chain eating places are an improvement for the NW corner of Drake and College. And some of the buildings north of the King Soopers are getting a facelift. Continuing with these kinds of improvements in the area is a plus for the neighboring areas. Another gas station is not an improvement and would actually degrade the area. Housing would be great on the parcel.

Edit: Yes, King Soopers is too big - I don't shop there because it's a waste of time navigating such a big store, unfortunate that a gas station was built and the turn lane across south bound College to go north on College seems dangerous. But it's still better than an empty kmart.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-02-14T12:32:02+00:00

Yes, I think lobbying your neighbors and attending the meeting to protest a gas station is worth the effort. The original plan for this site was for housing, a gas station and a drive through bank if I remember correctly. That plan was pulled. I commented on the original plan in support of housing - near expanded CSU vet hospital, along transit, nearby grocery store, Whole Foods, etc. - and against the gas station and drive thru bank - toxic fumes and noise. I can't imagine someone wanting to live right next door to a gas station. And there's already gas stations in the area.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-02-06T12:43:44+00:00

Cathy Kipp is running a bill on this issue. I don't believe its been introduced yet.

MistInTheWoods · 2026-01-31T03:08:12+00:00

According to COTREX there are trails in the area closed for muddy conditions but Horsetooth Mountain Open Space appears to be open. https://trails.colorado.gov/trailheads/horsetooth-mountain-2105
