janetleap

Now in its 41st year, Boulder’s Walk & Bike Month began as a single day of bicycling events in 1977 and has grown to a month-long celebration. Today, Boulder’s Walk and Bike Month is among the largest events of its kind in the nation.

A celebration of Boulder’s unique and nationally recognized #bicycling and #pedestrian culture, #Walk & #Bike Month includes a diverse list of more than more than 60 free events for adults and children alike, including mountain bike rides, running activities, scavenger hunts, historical walking tours, hikes and much more.

Bike to Work Day on June 28 is the main event, with almost 50 breakfast stations around Boulder serving free food and drink to the estimated 7,000 participants riding or walking to work.

Heading To Chautauqua? Take The Park-to-Park Shuttle Ride On The Weekends This Summer!

janetleap

What is there not to love about Chautauqua? Nothing! But parking has been a problem for this super popular park so Boulder has initiated a new program to help control traffic called Park-toPark.

What is Park to Park?

The Park to Park pilot program, which provides satellite parking and free shuttle service to and from Chautauqua, is part of the Chautauqua Access Management Plan (CAMP) project to explore ways to create a better visitor experience while reducing vehicular and parking impacts on neighbors and the area’s natural and cultural resources.

Shuttle Basics:

The temporary shuttle service, which runs every Saturday and Sunday from June 3 – August 27, is a convenient, stress-free way to access Chautauqua no matter how you travel – by foot, car, bike, skateboard or otherwise.

But before you go, some quick facts about the shuttle:

  • FREE: Ride to and from Chautauqua without breaking the bank
  • FAST: The shuttle runs every 15 minutes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • DOGS are welcome! And yes, there’s room for all your gear, too.

Critical Questions Buyers Should Ask Sellers

Critical Questions Buyers Should Ask Sellers

Buyers will glean plenty of information from the seller’s disclosure agreement, the home inspector, and maybe even their new neighbors. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few questions they should ask the seller at the walkthrough or before closing.

Realtor.com® suggests buyers ask some of the following questions of sellers:

  1. Have you had any past problems with the home that you’ve repaired?
  2. Can you tell me where the water shutoff valve, sump pump, circuit box, and more are located?
  3. Is there anything you wanted to leave behind?
