Action Alert! Calling Nuclear Guardians and Boulder County Residents!
On Thursday August 1st, the Boulder County Commissioners will hold their monthly public meeting, and we are inviting our allies in the community to make a public comment urging the Commissioners to withdraw their participation in the Rocky Mountain Greenway project.
The Rocky Mountain Greenway is a proposed mountain biking trail, intended to encircle Rocky Flats, one of the most contaminated former nuclear weapons sites in the nation. The Town of Superior and Broomfield have already withdrawn from the project, and on Monday 7/15, Westminster City Council held a Study Session with a panel of experts presenting on the Rocky Mountain Greenway. Significant concerns have been expressed by Westminster City Councillors and community members alike. We urge Boulder to heed these warnings and withdraw from the project.
On January 30th 2024 Boulder County voted to officially adopt a position that opposes recreation at Rocky Flats. We need to hold the Boulder County Commissioners true to this commitment, and we are asking Boulder County to withdraw from the Rocky Mountain Greenway project.
We are calling on members of the public to send a 1-click letter to Boulder County Commissioners.
Additionally, we are calling on community members to testify at the Boulder County Commissioners meeting on Thursday, August 1st at 9am, and urge them to withdraw from the Rocky Mountain Greenway project.
