Good morning, Fort Collins.

Fort Collins government has released its annual Community Survey now open until May 31 to gather input on city services and future priorities.

Postal invitations were mailed to randomly selected households since mid-April while residents who did not receive one can opt in online starting May 16 (all responses are confidential).

On April 14th, 2025 a police chase ended on I-25 near Mead when a fleeing driver was hit by another car, closing the northbound lanes for about 3.5 hours and injuring three deputies (the suspect suffered serious injuries after he ran with a gun).

Colorado Education Commissioner Susana Cordova said she refused to sign a U.S. Department of Education Title VI certification demanded on April 3—calling it unlawful for not following proper legal procedures—and that her department will not require the state’s 179 school districts to sign it.

A citizen group is circulating two petitions to let voters decide if the 164-acre former Hughes Stadium should be made a natural area—one petition needs 5,079 signatures and another requires 7,600, with signatures due by 5 p.m. June 11.

A civic assembly of 20 residents has begun exploring all options for the site, and the City Council may act by August based on their recommendations.
