BIG Idea
Innovation has long served the residents of Steamboat Springs, whether from our early pioneering days to today’s electronic modern conveniences. The drive to improve our community goes back to the turn of the century when Steamboat Springs first staked claim to the initial essence as a city to today’s daily desire by staff to improve city life.
Today, we push the vision to make our community a more efficient, accessible, cost-effective and enjoyable place that remains authentic to its core values. Imagine how many times in the course of a day, each of us gets struck by that thought, that Eureka Moment. We’re looking for those BIG and small Eureka Moments – how can we make our city better.

Regional bus service to Stagecoach Reservoir and Steamboat Lake
Would love to be able to take a bus to Stagecoach and Steamboat Lake State parks. Service in the mornings and evenings would be great! My 13 yr old kids like to go to these places but I can’t always drive them as I am working.

A couple of weeks ago the city found an excess of money. Have the city build a new cell tower.
That way the city would collect money from other cell companies. The money could go to free skiing for locals. The mountain would still make money! The city would make money and we would have better service!

Shade structure at Bear River Skate Park
Day after day, moms, dads, siblings and coaches bake in the extremely hot sun watching their athletes skate and bike, for hours. We are hiding in the trunks of our cars, wearing hats, scarves, umbrellas, you name it, to avoid being overcooked. I've priced out trees at WIndemere and thought about raising money for these but then there's the irrigation issue. An arbor or something artsy would be amazing! Thank you for this consideration.

Radar activated flashing speed limit sign on Pine Grove Road
A radar activated flashing speed limit sign, similar to ones on west Lincoln and 13th street is sorely needed. The existing 25 mph sign near the Pine Grove building across from Safeway is small and is unnoticed and unheeded by many drivers accelerating from the left turn lane off of US 40 and headed to City Market and Walmart. The speeding that commonly occurs around the curve near the Pine Grove Apartments and the adjacent multiple driveways is now even more dangerous with the new hotel construction. In winter, plowing severely limits sight distance from these driveways, and near misses with vehicles traveling 35 mph or more are not uncommon. As noted in many articles in the Pilot/Today, and recently with the new nearby pedestrian underpass, Pine Grove Road (and the US 40 intersection) is one of the busiest streets in town. Please update this decades-old sign with a modern and attention getting flashing sign, similar to those that have helped other high traffic streets in Steamboat Springs remain safe to pedestrians and other vehicles alike. Thank you.
