The 7th annual Keep Woodland Park Beautiful spring cleanup will be Saturday, June 6th! Hit the city-wide garage sale at the high school early (you'll want to, anyway), then head to Memorial Park by 9 or so to register to help cleanup the town. After the cleanup will be a free BBQ lunch (again, in Memorial Park). Mark your calendars!

The 280 acre, multi million dollar McAfee mansion near Woodland Park is joining the ranks of foreclosed homes! Read the Gazette for more details. What cost around $25 million to build is likely to be a real bargain for whoever bids on it in the June 3rd auction...the current owner paid $5.72 million, of which $3.2 million is still owed to the bank.

Tonight's Comprehensive Plan meeting went well, with the 110 or so attendees being broken up into tables of 8 for discussion and brainstorming. The results were a bit surprising, with most people wanting to see more chain restaurants in town, like more Starbucks, Chilis, etc, and also more cookie-cutter housing developments. Just kidding, just kidding. Actually, people were fairly unified in their distaste of the current highway 24 configuration (mainly complaints over it being not pedestrian-friendly). Focus on outdoor activities and community building opportunities were also voiced quite a bit, and there seemed to be quite a bit of support for a rec center, affordable housing, and a community college. This is a continuing process, so it's not too late to get involved. Keep an eye on WPCompPlan.org for more information, surveys, meeting times, etc. You'll soon be able to view a recording of the meeting at TellerNetcast.com.

Woodland Park is a great town, but seems a bit confused when it comes to the environment lately. A free recycling center has just opened up in the Wal-Mart parking lot, where residents can drop off most mixed recyclables - glass, cans, etc (no cardboard). The Courier has more on that story (thanks, Teller County Waste, for donating that!!!). Around the same time as that, incumbent IREA board member Sperry defeated challenger Galvin. The IREA is notorious for its head-in-the-sand attitude towards global warming, alternative energy, and support for new coal power production. Hopefully the recycling center is more indicative of the future of our community than the Comanche coal-powered power plant the IREA helped build near Pueblo.
