Finally! The lanes are back where they belong!

The Colorado Department of Transportation and officials celebrated the traffic lanes on the North I-25 project being placed back in their appropriate configuration.

The project is a continuation of improvements that have been completed on I-25 between Berthoud and Fort Collins over the past six years. More here: https://www.codot.gov/news/2026/october-2026-news/i25-mead-berthoud-north-express-lanes-milestone-celebration

Commissioner Kristin Stephens, CDOT Region 4 Transportation Commissioner Cecil Gutierrez, and Meade, Colorado Mayor Coleen Whitlow, posed for a couple of pics. Instead of a ribbon-cutting, they got creative, and each celebrated with lane-line painting on the northbound traffic lanes.

The Board of Larimer County Commissioners recognized Larimer County Natural Resources for receiving not one --- but two Blue Grama Awards at the Open Space Annual Conference in Crested Butte, Colorado, from the Colorado Open Space Alliance for the Livermore Conservation Project and Poudre River Trail Project. https://coloradoopenspace.org/about/ .

“Tenacity, patience, and partnership are what made all this happen. It took a lot of collaboration. This is legacy work for multiple generations,” said Larimer County Commissioner Jody Shadduck-McNally.

They promote land conservation benefits and program successes, and foster partnerships for open space programs, landowners, land trusts, conservation and land use organizations.

“Protecting both little spaces and big spaces does really mean a lot to not only our community but to our whole Northern Colorado region,” said Larimer County Commissioner Kristin Stephens.

Join Us at the Table

The Board of Larimer County Commissioners today proclaimed the month of October as Long-Term Care Residents’ Rights Month in Larimer County.

This year’s theme is “Join Us at the Table,” to highlight the importance of food and mealtimes in residents’ daily lives.

“I have a little experience in this right now, since my mom is in long-term care, and mealtime is really special. When I visit, she sometimes has an eye on the clock because she wants to go hang with her ‘crew,’ as I call them,” said Larimer County Commissioner Kristin Stephens. “That is one of her bigger parts of her day and gives her a lot of joy, so I know that mealtime is important in long-term care.”

There are 1.2 million individuals living in 14,700 nursing homes, with over 1 million also living in 32,000 assisted living/residential care facilities in the U.S.

“It’s the little things like sitting around the table with something they like to eat and other things that make their stay more like a home that are important,” said Larimer County Commissioner Jody Shadduck-McNally.

Mealtimes and sharing food are an important part of how these residents interact, create and maintain friendships, and share their stories while enhancing their sense of community.
