Iris Avenue Core Arterial Network (CAN) Transportation and Mobility ProjectIn May, 2023, Growing Up Boulder (GUB) began collaborating with City of Boulder Transportation staff to learn about the goals and engagement plans for the first phase of the Iris Avenue CAN Project. In September, GUB staff partnered with two Boulder Housing Partners’ home communities: the Iris Hawthorn Home Community and the Glen Willow Home Community. The transportation department will take the findings from these engagements efforts and they will then inform phase 2 of the project. The central theme of the feedback from youth and caregivers was safety.

CFCI RoundtableOn September 19, 2023, 34 participants from various community partners gathered to learn about the Child Friendly City Initiative. They actively supported this initiative, lead by Growing Up Boulder and the City of Boulder, by identifying key indicators that would be important to their community. The CFCI framework, developed in collaboration with UNICEF, aligns with ongoing efforts by various governmental and nonprofit partners. It represents an innovative, collective action strategy for Boulder in creating a community where all young people and their families can flourish. It emphasizes the fundamental principle that every young person should have a voice in shaping their future, regardless of age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, immigration or housing status, or family income level. Thank you to all of you for participating in this work with us!
