The proposed 30th Street bike path that has been causing a bit of a stir in Boulder — some folks are upset that it would require taking down a few trees — has hit a new controversial milestone. The city, unable to buy land for the proposal from a business there, has filed an eminent domain petition.
The Camera has the full story on the bike path eminent domain development, and here’s the quick-hit update:
Last we knew: The city of Boulder wanted to build a pedestrian and bicycle underpass at 30th Street as part of a plan to connect a bike path to the planned Transit Village. City officials reached a compromise with residents who wanted to save trees in that area.
Latest: The city filed an eminent domain petition this week to acquire land it needs for the underpass.
Next: A judge could rule on the matter within 30 to 60 days, deciding whether to provide easements to the city.
A quick explanation of the proposed project:
