Repurpose Our Runways & Runways to Neighborhoods

Boulder's airport creates pollution and is used primarily by a small number of private plane enthusiasts.
Join the movement to repurpose it into new mixed-use neighborhoods with 50% affordable housing on site!

What are our two initiatives for the November ballot? 

  • "Repurpose Our Runways" - to decommission the Boulder Airport, but allow emergency-only helicopter facilities and uses to continue, including for flood, fire, and medical purposes. 

  • "Runways to Neighborhoods" - to plan and create new neighborhoods on the airport site after decommissioning, with 50% permanently affordable housing on site for low, moderate, and middle income residents.

Why two ballot measures instead of one?
Because, by law, a city ballot measure can only do one thing.

We strongly support both measures together as a package.
