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

A Boulder campaign arguing that the city should keep its 1922 public pool operating.

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

Field notes

The campaign organizes its case around a dated sequence: early closure in 2025, reduced weekday operations in 2026, removal of ongoing funding in the recommended 2027 budget, and a stated 2028 closure. Its evidence layer includes a temperature table covering 1990–2026, a walking-distance map for nearby neighborhoods, and citations to city, weather, local reporting, and historical sources. The page also supplies practical participation routes, including council-email instructions, meeting guidance, downloadable materials, and a 19-candidate scorecard.
