On Biden’s 100th day in office, CIRC will host a virtual town hall in partnership with Mijente to give Coloradans who have experienced and organized against cruel and inhumane treatment at the hands of ICE an opportunity to put a spotlight on their experiences and present demands for change.

CLEAR CREEK LOCAL COORDINATING COUNCIL (LLC) – APRIL 21, 2021
The Clear Creek Local Coordinating Council meet virtually on Wednesday April 21 at 11:30. The group talked about the summer program that the Clear Creek Metro Recreation District will be offering – lots of youth will be riding the new Roundabout. That led right into more talk about the new service – Clear Creek has rebranded their bus service as The Roundabout – with new “wraps” on the buses, new route maps, new signage, and more. Trips to the closest Walmart between 1:00 and 3:30 Monday thru Thursday have been added, and there is talk of BrewPub tours! The work with CCMRD is only one of their many new initiatives. The VOA reminded us all that they do provide rides to the VA Hospital. Residents can also look at ClearCreekVaccine.com for local information on COVID19 shots. 5 of the county staff will be attending the Spring CASTA conference in Estes Park – several of the other attendees will be there as well. The group also discussed CDOT’s upcoming I70 service tentatively named Pegasus – it will use a fleet of 12 electric 15 passenger BOCs to run in the shoulder lanes along I70. The next meeting will be held virtually, on Wednesday May 19th at 11:30 – contact asmith@clearcreekcounty.us for a link to the meeting. It is open to the public.
