receive near real-time bike path alerts from Boulder

Some time ago I signed up for the City of Boulder bikeped-enews mailing list. I though it was a helpful way to stay in touch with bikepath goings-on. Imagine my pleasant surprise when on September 24 not too long after an early-morning deluge I received this note in my inbox...

The following multi-use paths have been temporarily closed due to water covering the path:

* Bear Creek Path at Mohawk Drive;
* Bear Creek Path at Gilpin Drive;
* 55th Street Path at Centennial Trail; and
* Goose Creek Path between Folsom and 30th streets.

These paths may reopen this afternoon, weather dependent.

How cool is that? near real-time Boulder bike path alerts sent to my inbox. I love this place!
