On July 14, the Town Council approved a design for the North Pool renovation. This design is the result of several months of planning and information gathering, including: performing site and equipment assessments, soliciting resident feedback through a public survey and a community open house, and hosting multiple public meetings of the Town Council and Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee.

We know how excited the Superior community is about this project and we truly appreciate the many ideas, requests, and feedback you've all shared—thank you!

The approved design (pictured below) incorporates the most commonly requested items we heard from residents:

• Additional shade structures
• Updated restrooms and changing facilities (including a new family changing room and a new all-season restroom)
• Zero-depth entry wading pool
• New pool shell and deck
• Upgraded and more efficient heaters, pumps, and other mechanical components (which will be insulated to allow for a potential expanded pool season).

The community is invited to National Night Out at 6 p.m. on Aug. 5 at Community Park (1350 Coalton Road) for a community-building event to promote police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie.

Come meet local law enforcement officers, watch a K9 demonstration and enjoy food, entertainment and local vendors!

This event is free and sponsored by the Boulder County Sheriff's Office and Town of Superior. For more information, please contact the Sheriff's Office at 303-441-3650.

As the summer heat continues, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office Animal Protection Unit is here to remind you to protect your pets by never leaving them alone in a vehicle.

Even on mild days, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously fast, putting your pet at serious risk of heatstroke, brain damage, or even death.

Here are some tips:

• If you’re running errands, leave pets at home.
• If they must come along, never leave them unattended in a vehicle—even for a few minutes.
• Provide plenty of water, shade, and rest during outdoor activities.

Let’s keep our furry friends safe and healthy all summer long!

To report an incident or speak with an Animal Protection Officer, you can call 303-441-4444.

Sagamore Neighborhood, Sycamore Street, and 76th Street Paving

We are happy to report that the repaving of the streets in the Sagamore neighborhood and on Sycamore and 76th streets is complete.

Thank you for your patience during this construction project.

Rock Creek Parkway Pedestrian Underpass

Exciting news! The Rock Creek Parkway Pedestrian Underpass Rehabilitation Project is complete.

This project, funded by a Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) grant, included the complete rehabilitation of the existing underpass.

Superior's Cultural Arts and Public Spaces (CAPS) Advisory Committee plans to paint a mural in the underpass later this year.

Construction is ongoing on the Rock Creek Parkway and McCaslin Boulevard intersection, with all work expected to conclude by late August.

Crews have completed work on the west side of McCaslin and are continuing work on the east side of McCaslin and Rock Creek Parkway to the pedestrian underpass.

This project includes removing and replacing the existing asphalt and concrete islands. The project will improve the roadway surface, correct drainage issues in this area, and bring the existing islands into compliance with standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

During construction, residents and visitors can expect temporary lane closures, lane shifts, periodic sidewalk and bike lane closures, and some travel delays. Access on McCaslin Boulevard and Rock Creek Parkway will be maintained.

To learn more, please visit the Town Projects webpage or email the Public Works Department.

Town staff have been working with Broomfield staff to complete a pavement rehabilitation project along Coalton Road from Rock Creek Parkway to West Flatiron Crossing Drive in Broomfield.

The Town is responsible for operating and maintaining Coalton Road from Rock Creek Parkway to the Tyler Drive intersection, with Broomfield handling the remainder of Coalton Road east of Tyler Drive, including the intersection.

The project will begin in September 2025 and should be completed within the month. Once complete, it will improve the roadway surface and correct drainage issues in this area. During construction, residents and visitors can expect temporary lane closures, lane shifts, periodic sidewalk and bike lane closures, and some travel delays. Access on Coalton Road will be maintained during construction.

To learn more, please visit the Town Projects webpage or email the Public Works Department.

The Town of Superior has joined the growing number of communities across the United States implementing pedestrian crossing flags to enhance safety.

At the intersection of Heartstrong and Indiana streets near Superior Elementary School, the Public Works Department has installed neon orange reflective flags to assist pedestrians when crossing.

Here's how it works:

Containers holding the flags are located on both sides of the crosswalk. To use the system, pedestrians simply grab a flag, hold it up, wait for traffic to stop, and proceed carefully across the street while keeping the flag visible. Once safely across, the flag can be placed in the container for the next person.

This added visibility helps drivers see pedestrians more easily — especially during poor weather or nighttime conditions — and contributes to safer crossings.

The Town, as a part of the U.S. 36 Collaborative, has partnered for the second year in a row with the national economic development campaign Colorado Hub for Health Impact.

The U.S. 36 corridor accounts for 32% of the state's life sciences assets, with concentrations in biotech and pharma, digital health, medical technology, and agricultural biotechnology and animal health.

The high-tech U.S. 36 corridor connects Boulder, a magnet for science and technology talent, CU Boulder, and federal labs, to Denver. Municipalities, including Broomfield, Lafayette, Louisville, Superior, and Westminster, house some of the best-known life sciences companies in the state.

More information can be found on the Colorado Hub for Health Impact campaign website.

Don't miss out on the fun!

The Rocky Mountain Women’s Disc Golf Championships (RMWDGC) is returning to Purple Park this August.

From Aug. 18-24, there will be a variety of events, culminating with the weekend tournament.

The RMWDGC has taken place eight times since its inception in 2011, and has featured multiple tournament directors: Doug Bjerkaas, Ray Woodruff, Kim Wooters, and now Alessandra Lance.

The local community is welcome and invited to come cheer on the women as they compete in the 2025 RMWDGC! All event details, including a full schedule and information regarding a free disc golf clinic for Superior residents, will be posted and maintained on the event webpage.

Please be aware that Purple Park (1310 S. Pitkin Ave.) and the playground will be closed for public safety during the event. There will be increased parking around the park and the adjacent neighborhood.

Final design renderings for the Community Park playground renovation project will be presented for Superior Town Council approval on Aug. 25. Public comment is welcome at the meeting.

Town staff conducted public engagement on the project, including engagement tables at two community events and a community session at the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee meeting in July. During these conversations, residents expressed overwhelming support for the proposed design.

The Community Park Playground is aging and requires renovation to meet the needs of the community. The 17,000-square-foot play area will be renovated to include new, fun and inclusive play equipment and poured-in-place surfacing, while also vastly improving ADA accessibility and overall safety for ages 2-12.

Construction is currently scheduled to begin in the spring of 2026, pending Town Council approval later this month.

You may notice that as the summer temperatures creep up, smog also seems to get thicker.

This is because ground-level ozone pollution, created by air pollutants like those from vehicle fumes, industrial operations and motorized lawn equipment, tends to increase during the hot months of July and August.

In addition to supporting more measures to reduce ozone pollution, you can play a role in decreasing air pollution and stay healthy:

• Carpool, bike, or use public transportation instead of driving by yourself
• Combine trips by picking one day to run your errands
• Exercise early or late in the day
• Electrify your lawn and garden equipment (and take advantage of the 30% discount on electric lawn equipment – see a list of participating retailers fromCOPIRG)
• Use a HEPA or equivalent quality air purifier indoors to reduce many air pollutants that cause breathing difficulties when ozone is higher

Keep track of air quality in Superior by checking ourPurple Air Sensor Map.You can also see local ozone and air quality information by visitingCDPHE's daily air quality monitoring dashboard, get alerts for poor air quality days by texting “BETTERAIRCO” to 21000 orsigning up for e-mail alerts.
