We continue highlighting key parts of Mayor Yemi’s Strategic Doing Action Items - infrastructure, housing solutions, economic vitality and community activation.

Also, why you may want to attend the February 11 Colorado Springs City Council Meeting: we get an update on the City’s effort to adopt rules governing use of e-bikes in the city’s parks, trails and open spaces. Cory Sutela, executive director of Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates, stopped by the studio on February 6 to fill us in, following a City Council work session and formal meeting the week of January 27.

Loving the Springs celebrates the best of Colorado Springs and elevates the rest.

Plug into what’s happening in the Pikes Peak region, learn about awesome people, places and happenings, and explore opportunities to make life here even better. Local gadflies Al Brody and Dave Gardner love our two springs – Colorado and Manitou, so they give them the mic in this twice-monthly podcast. Nothing’s off the table – recreation, the arts, government, business, politics – if it touches your life, they'll talk about it. We’ll invite the movers and shakers, conspiracy theorists, NIMBYs, YIMBYs, yaysayers and naysayers to join them.
