Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Boulder preservation campaign documents the case for keeping Spruce Pool operating beyond 2027.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The campaign organizes its case as a source-linked record rather than a simple petition page. It tracks operating changes from 2025 through the proposed 2028 closure, places the pool within walking distance of Whittier, Goss-Grove, downtown, and the Hill, and compares Boulder’s 1990s and 2020s averages for days above 90°F. It also offers a council scorecard, meeting instructions, downloadable materials, and a short email route.
