Two are on the Western Slope and one is west of Fort Collins near Walden.Related ArticlesOutdoors | Campground closure at Rocky Mountain National Park could have ripple effect across Colorado forests Outdoors | 5 places to camp instead of Rocky Mountain National Park’s closed Moraine campground “Staff at each state park will continue to monitor and work to get campgrounds open as soon as they can do so safely and without damage to the area,” according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “However, CPW anticipates these campgrounds will remain closed until mid-May.”CPW’s statewide spokeswoman, Bridget O’Rourke, confirmed that those seven parks are the only state ca...

After soaring energy bills, legislation aims to level playing field for utility customers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:17 GMT

Members of a joint legislative committee investigating why Colorado utility bills shot up so dramatically this winter have proposed a bill meant to protect customers against future price shocks and level what some see as a playing field tilted in the utilities’ favor.The bill, introduced Wednesday and sponsored by Democrats on the committee, proposes the short-term solution of setting a cap on how much of a regulated utility’s increased fuel costs it could pass on to customers. Regulators could spread out the costs over a period of time.Regulated utilities pass through wholesale fuel costs to customers without a markup. Legislators have suggested the companies might have more incentive to seek the lowest prices if they weren’t assured of recouping all their costs.Longer-term proposals include a study to determine whether new investments in natural gas facilities will saddle ratepayers with expensive plants and pipelines they won’t need as power increasingly c...

Popular Vietnamese food truck opening two brick-and-mortar spaces

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:17 GMT

Pho King Rapidos’ food truck might be slowing to a stop, but owners Long Nguyen and Shauna Seaman are on the move.The popular Denver food truck, which introduced its menu — Vietnamese food heavily spiced with other ethnic and geographic influences — in 2020, is getting ready to open its first brick-and-mortar space in Avanti Denver, located at 3200 N. Pecos St., on May 9, and a second in Park Hill this summer. Nguyen said the food truck will pause service at the end of April, and they have no immediate plans to bring it back yet.“Avanti gives you an opportunity to test your food in a restaurant setting, and you don’t have to set it up top to bottom like a food truck,” Nguyen said. “It also gives you the opportunity to be exposed to a lot more guests, who maybe didn’t want to travel to our brewery spots in the past and now have a central location.”Pho King Rapidos will take over Meta Asian Kitchen’s previous space on the first floor of Avanti. Meta is now at Honor Farm, t...

DPS would no longer target smallest schools when making closure plans under new board proposal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:17 GMT

As Denver Public Schools prepares to close schools to combat falling enrollment, the district’s Board of Education is considering a policy change to no longer focus solely on the district’s smallest schools.The policy, if adopted by the board, would direct Superintendent Alex Marrero to develop a consolidation plan that does not use enrollment minimums, such as the 215-student threshold recommended by a community committee last year, as a “bright line criteria.”This would mean schools of any size are “eligible for consolidation,” according to the draft policy.“As kindergarten enrollment has declined since 2014, a stigma now exists for ‘small schools,’ which can accelerate the school’s enrollment decline,” the latest draft of the policy says.By removing the threshold, board member Scott Baldermann said it is his hope that the “burden” of declining enrollment won’t be concentrated on the district’s smallest schools.The goal, he said, “Is to make sure that all s...

‘It’s collapsing.’ Pandemic woes persist for struggling Bay Area childcare providers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:17 GMT

Hundreds of childcare providers across the Bay Area shuttered their doors when the pandemic hit, and many never found a way to reopen. The shortage amid skyrocketing costs has made it tough on parents, creating a ripple effect across the economy.In Santa Clara County, around 570 childcare businesses have closed since July 2020. Alameda County also lost nearly 300 of more than 1,800 providers between 2019 and 2021, according to Kidsdata.org.As the industry continues to reel, the cost of full-time childcare at licensed pre-schools in Silicon Valley has nearly doubled since the end of the Great Recession, from about $11,100 a year in 2010 to $20,500 in 2022, according to Joint Venture Silicon Valley’s 2023 Silicon Valley Index report.“We’ve seen a trend toward Silicon Valley becoming a less conducive environment to start and raise a family,” said Rachel Massaro, vice president and director of research at Joint Venture, a San Jose-based economic think tank.A yellow Vic...

Overseas investors strike deal to grab San Jose hotel development site

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:17 GMT

SAN JOSE — An overseas investment group has struck a deal that could help it gain ownership of a San Jose hotel development site whose real estate loan has tumbled into delinquency and default.A South Korea-based group has acquired a $26.4 million loan that had been provided to the real estate firm that previously proposed a hotel at 7 Topgolf Drive in San Jose’s Alviso district, according to documents on file with the Santa Clara County Recorder’s Office.That loan is now in default and Pine Tree Specialized Private Investment Trust and KEB Hana Bank in recent months began the process to foreclose on the loan and seize the property.The lenders even scheduled a trustee’s sale to publicly auction off the property or seize the hotel project land, which totals 3.2 acres, through a foreclosure on the loan.Before the foreclosure proceeding could be completed, however, Pine Tree Specialized and KEB Hana Bank found an investment group willing to assume control of the...

Monterey County’s Chris Prieto a part of history in Tampa Bay

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:52:17 GMT

CINCINNATI – With each win, no one raised a toast. Oh, the music was a little louder in the Tampa Bay clubhouse, as players turned pressure into excitement.Perhaps because the Tampa Bay Rays are littered with youth on the roster, players were oblivious to what was occurring. So coaches just rolled with the record-breaking start to the Major League Baseball season.“We didn’t really talk about it,” Rays first base coach and former Carmel High standout Chris Prieto said. “You just learn to get in that mode and go the next day. Over 162 games, you keep grinding.”The first 13 games were one for the ages as Tampa Bay tied a Major League Baseball record for consecutive wins to start the season, a record that dates back 41 years to when the Braves achieved the feat in 1982.Carmel grad Chris Prieto has enjoyed the vibe during the Tampa Bay Rays’ winning streak. (John Devine — Monterey Herald) “I had been a part of some winning streaks as a player and coach in the minors,” Prieto said. “...
