Bob Falcone gives us the details of Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to hiking the trails in Colorado Springs
Hiking affectionando, Bob Falcone, shows Councilman Bill Murray the way around Colorado Springs trails and open space. What is the state of trails & open space? What is the Parkland Dedication ordinance? The Conservation Trust fund? How did the Strawberry Field land swap work out? Was it a plus for the Colorado Springs? Are there four legged and two legged critters to watch out for on the trails? Are they dangerous? How many neighborhood parks does El Paso county own?
There’s a discussion about the two ballot issues on the November 2020 ballot. Will there be monies for maintenance of future trails and open space? There was a bear running around one of the parks and his genetic makeup was questionable. Think it was an “old” bear.

Are you sure that one or the other of the dueling POPS ballot questions must attain a simple majority in order for there to be a winner? As I understood Wynetta, the one that gets the most votes wins. AFAIK there was no mention made of having to attain a simple majority to declare a winner. Whatever the Rule is, it should be made very clear to the voting public.
Thanks for listening,

Donna, it’s not an either/or ballot. Each question is a separate question, and as with any other ballot question, they must get more “yes” votes than “no” votes to pass.
There was some discussion about making it one ballot question and asking voters to select which one they preferred, but it appears that that type of ballot question is not allowed since it doesn’t give the voter the opportunity to say “yes” or “no” to both.
