Routt County and Steamboat Springs elected officials say they need to do something “big” to address the local housing crisis that has employers throughout the Yampa Valley struggling to find staff that can afford to live in the area. “It is time to think big,” Commissioner Tim Corrigan said at a joint meeting of city and county leaders Tuesday, words that Council President Jason Lacy would echo later in the meeting.

Steamboat City Council passes final vote to implement bicycle safety stop

The two groups presented data from the state of Idaho and other Colorado communities that have implemented the law and seen decreases in crashes between cars and bicyclists. “We’re talking about something that increases safety for cyclists and commuters around town,” said Laraine Martin, Routt County Riders executive director. “I think sometimes there’s a bit of confusion about whether this is something we think of as the convenience rolling stop.”

Steamboat City Council begins exploring stormwater utility fee

As the city’s infrastructure grows older and federal and state governments increase their standards for environment and watershed health, the city’s general fund has faced a significant strain in trying to keep up, Steamboat Water Resourced Manager Kelly Romero-Heaney and Steamboat Public Works Director Jon Snyder told council members Tuesday. “Providing these services can be costly, and it is common for cities and towns in Colorado to finance these expenses through a user fee based on storm water utility,” Romero-Heaney said.
