ERIE

Residents can apply to buy income-restricted homes

Residents can submit pre-application forms for the 35 new Erie Cheesman Street Residences affordable housing units being built at 755-765 Cheesman St.

Government workers say they’ll start accepting the forms at 9 a.m. Saturday, and they’re encouraging residents to fill them out in advance and submit them as soon as the online window opens, since applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, according to application materials online. The forms are at tinyurl.com/CheesmanPreApplication.

A family of four that makes a household income of less than $146,000, is eligible to buy one of the homes. The income guidelines are set by the federal Housing and Urban Development using Census Bureau data.

BOULDER COUNTY

Boulder Falls is temporarily closed due to a rockslide

Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks has temporarily closed Boulder Falls due to a recent rockslide that damaged the trail.

There is no estimated timeline for when the area in Boulder Canyon west of Boulder may reopen, according to a press release.

The closure follows recent weather conditions that likely triggered soil movement, causing the slide, according to the release.

Commissioners may spend $1.2M on Prairie Run

Boulder County commissioners are expected to spend $1.2 million to create a design and engineering project plan to build the new Prairie Run Open Space near Erie, according to county materials.

The Prairie Run Open Space design project aims to restore the natural creek courses on 1,377 acres of land just south of Colo. 52 and west of East County Line Road in the eastern part of the county. The design is expected to mitigate future flooding impacts, among other things. It’s also expected to include a parking area, five miles of recreational trails, a play area and a fishing pier.
