City of Boulder News Briefs

Tree removal on Four Mile Creek Path next week

The City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) will be removing a tree next to the Four Mile Creek Path at the 30th Street intersection next week. The work is scheduled for April 26 but is subject to change due to weather.

Due to structural defects, this cottonwood tree has been identified as a potential hazard to the public. The path will remain open while this work is being done.  Traffic control personnel will be present to direct traffic on the path safely through the work area.

For more information, call OSMP at 303-441-3440 or visit www.osmp.org.
