National Small Business Week Coming Up May 1-7

National Small Business Week celebrates the resiliency and tenacity of the small businesses in our community. Three months after the Marshall Fire, Superior’s local businesses are doing their best to stage a comeback. Some have been hit harder than others, but all have experienced the outpouring care and support of the surrounding community. For residents of Superior and community members in the region, there are several ways to help. Social media is one great avenue for showing support. You can visit Superior businesses’ Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages and leave encouraging comments and reviews.

Ultimately, the best way to help is through your patronage. Supporting our local businesses helps cultivate relationships within the community and will help impacted businesses recover more quickly. Visit the Town's Business Directory for a list of our incredible Superior businesses. Also, please visit the Economic Development website to check out our One Community Business Spotlights!

Air Quality Awareness Week

May 2-6, 2022

This year’s Air Quality Awareness Week has daily topics focused on citizen science and sensors, environmental justice and air quality, and more. One way to help improve the region’s air quality is to trade in your gas-powered landscape equipment for electric alternatives. Check out the two opportunities below that will help you do that!

Vouchers for Electric Lawn and Garden Equipment

New in 2022, the Town is partnering with the Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) for its Mow Down Pollution Program. Vouchers are available to people who choose to recycle and replace their gas-powered lawn mowers ($150 voucher) and leaf blowers ($50 voucher) with rechargeable or corded electric equipment.

Vouchers are available on a first-come, first serve basis. Residents can sign up for a voucher here. To receive a voucher, you must drop off your gas mower or leaf blower at the Gas-powered Lawn Mower and Leaf Blower Recycling Event or provide proof of recycling at another facility.

While there are a limited number of mower/leaf blower vouchers, any Superior resident can drop off their gas mower during the recycling event in Louisville.

Upcoming Sidewalk Closures in Downtown Superior

Carmel is now working on Blocks 6, 7, and the north portions of Blocks 9 ,10 and 11. In addition to that, Remington is constructing townhomes on the southern portions of Blocks 9, 10 and 11. Since there are zero setbacks from the sidewalks adjacent to Blocks 9, 10 and 11, construction will entail closure of the sidewalks surrounding these blocks as indicated in red on the graphic below. Please take note of the new sidewalk available along the north side of Old Rail Way from Promenade Drive to Gateway Drive, and along Gateway Drive, from Old Rail Way to Main Street as indicated in green in the image provided.

Carmel’s work on Blocks 9, 10 and 11 will extend into 2023 while Remington will open sidewalks once its adjacent construction is safely out of the way of pedestrian paths. This work should start by early summer.

US 36 Bikeway Extension Project

Construction has started on the US 36 Bikeway Extension project. This federally funded project extends the US 36 Bikeway along the south side of US 36 in Superior. On the west end this project would construct a 10 ft.-wide multi-use concrete trail along the south side of US 36 from the existing US 36 Bikeway bridge (near Avista Hospital) east under the US 36/88th Street bridge. On the east end, the trail be constructed from the existing underpass of W. Flatiron Crossing Drive west through Autry Park to Rock Creek Parkway and turn north to 88th Street. The total project length will be about 7,000 feet. Initial work is being done within Autry Park and will require restricted access at times to some of the park’s amenities. Please observe detour signs and construction fencing during this construction period.

Chemicals applied to lawns and gardens in the spring often end up in nearby streams, harming aquatic life and causing excessive algae growth. For healthy lawns and gardens that require less pesticides and fertilizers start by doing a soil test to learn more about your soil and determine if additional nutrients are needed. Use a locally sourced compost instead of store bought fertilizers and try alternative pest management techniques instead of pesticides to combat plant diseases, pests, and weeds. Use this brand new Lawn and Garden Water Protection Guide published by the Keep it Clean Partnership to learn more.
