The Front Range was home to many Native American peoples for millennia. Among them were the Arapaho people, whom U.S. settlers met in what is now Boulder County following the 1859 Colorado gold rush. These Colorado lands remain important to the Arapaho Tribes, through their history, ancestors, culture, and traditions. Hear about the history and connections of the Arapaho people to the area directly from Ben Ridgley, who is a Northern Arapaho Tribal Historic Preservation Officer.

Learn about the Arapaho people on whose ancestral homelands Superior is located. Know history, know Superior, know yourself.

The Superior Historical Commission has collaborated with Town staff and Architectural Workshop to finalize the design of a replica building to replace the Historical Mine Camp House Museum, which was destroyed in the Marshall Fire.

The design and construction documents have been completed and the Board approved Schneider Building Company for the construction phase of the Historical Museum Mine Camp replica.

Construction will begin in late fall and is expected to run through early spring of 2024.

In an effort to promote safety and accessibility in our community, the Town periodically provides information about code enforcement topics.

Boulder County is taking steps to improve the sustainability of the Coalton Trail by constructing drainage features to reduce erosion. The entire 2.9-mile trail will also receive a recycled asphalt surface once the drainage improvements are complete. The funding for this project comes from a partnership between the Trust for Public Lands and the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks.

The trail will be closed starting in early October and will reopen in early 2024. Visitors should also take note that the Coalton Trailhead and Meadowlark Trail may be closed occasionally to allow for cattle grazing and to avoid conflicts with visitors. Regular updates will be available onsite at the Coalton Trailhead (3495 McCaslin Blvd.) and online at the Coalton Trailhead webpage.

Join us on Oct. 14 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the Coalton Trailhead (3495 McCaslin Blvd.) for the annular, or “ring of fire,” solar eclipse, which is projected at 84% magnitude!

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee (PARC) hosted three public meetings for residents to provide feedback and input on the rebuilding designs for Children’s Park, Big Sagamore Park and Little Sagamore Park.

Lose Design was awarded the design contract for these projects. They attended all of the public meetings and collected input from residents. Final designs were approved by the Town Board in August. The highlight of each park will be new playground equipment, each with its own theme to serve the local neighborhoods.

Construction is anticipated to start in late 2023, with completion in the summer of 2024.

Construction continues on the Coalton Road and Indiana Street Roadway Improvement Project.

In September, the contractor completed improvements along Indiana Street from Coalton Road to N Torreys Peak Drive. Construction continues on Coalton Road from McCaslin Boulevard to Indiana Street.

Coalton Road will be closed until mid-October from McCaslin Boulevard through the Indiana Street intersection with detours set up to route traffic around the closure.

To learn more about this project please visit the Public Works projects page.

The Town will be performing a cape seal on McCaslin Boulevard, from Rock Creek Parkway to Coalton Road through the month of October.

A cape seal is a type of roadway restoration, that includes two types of seal coats to be applied to the existing roadway surface. This type of construction is minimally intrusive and can typically be completed in several days. There will be temporary single-lane closures and lane shifts to facilitate construction. 

Once completed, drivers will enjoy a restored roadway surface.

As we enter the winter season Town Staff would like to remind residents about some good housekeeping practices as it relates to concrete maintenance.

Often private concrete driveways and sidewalks are installed with expansion joints. Expansion joints are generally installed along driveways near the public sidewalk and the garage. These joints deteriorate over time and will need to be repaired to prevent water from entering this area, affecting the life of the surrounding concrete.

These joints and voids can be filled with backer rods and caulk as needed to help prevent moisture from entering the area and extend the life of the surrounding concrete.
