Good morning, Fort Collins.

A 74-year-old man died when his 2020 Toyota Highlander—attempting a left turn with a flashing yellow arrow—was hit by a 2022 Freightliner M-Line Van at the intersection of U.S. 287 and Colorado 60 in south Loveland on May 30, with officials saying neither alcohol nor speeding was involved.

On May 23, Colorado Parks and Wildlife researchers tagged their 48th bald eagle in a Windsor neighborhood as part of the Front Range Bald Eagle study that began in 2020.

The team used a solar-powered GPS transmitter to track the bird's movements and learn how eagles adapt to areas with homes—while noting the successful raising of eaglets over recent years.

Transfort announced today that it is launching an Optimization Plan to review transit service and prioritize parts of the City’s Transit Master Plan so that improved service can be offered within its budget.

Community members may share feedback at scheduled events starting June 14 or online until July 9.
