Pearl Street Mall irrigation renovation

Impacts: The 1100 block of the mall will be open with temporary area closures. Detours will be marked.

Dates: Early January 2013 through mid-April 2013 (dependent on weather and contractor scheduling). The irrigation replacement work will continue on the Pearl Street Mall on the 1200, 1300 and 1400 block in future years.

Project Highlights

• The irrigation system will be replaced with an efficient system that uses new, water-saving technologies while continuing to sustain the beautiful flowers and trees on the mall.
• Several tree grates around existing trees will be enlarged for tree health.
• Four new trees will be added on 11th street south of the mall, down to Walnut.
• Seven unhealthy trees on the mall will be removed and replaced.

Please Note: All park construction and restoration project dates are subject to change due to weather conditions, contractor schedules and material delivery. Therefore, dates are tentative. Updates and progress reports will be posted on this website as available.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.

Smoking ban on the Pearl Street Mall

The Boulder City Council approved an ordinance banning smoking on the Pearl Street Mall on Dec. 18, 2012. The ordinance bans all smoking between 11th and 15th streets on the Pearl Street Mall, and on the lawn of the Boulder County Courthouse. The maximum penalty for a first or second offense within two years is a fine of $500; a third and subsequent conviction within two years triggers the general penalty provision of a maximum $1,000 fine and/or maximum of 90 days in jail.
