When driving, allow more stopping distance between cars. It takes 3-12 times more distance to stop on icy or snowy roads. Avoid making last minute decisions. During a heavy storm, you may not see plows and spreader trucks on secondary routes because they are working to keep primary routes open. The most dangerous street conditions occur when the days has been warm and snow and ice melts, and then the temperature drops in the afternoon and refreezes the melted snow and ice.
Boulder County plows all county roads.
Bike paths The Boulder Creek Path, beginning at Eben Fine Park to 55th Street is plowed first, followed by the Foothills Parkway Path and other paths. Where possible, on-street bike lanes are cleared during street snow removal operations. The Boulder Creek Path is cleared by the City of Boulder Parks and Recreation Department. In heavier snows, on-street bike lanes may not immediately be completely cleared of snow and ice as plowed snow builds up along the curb and gutter. Be cautious in these areas.
