Reopening City Facilities and Services
This page provides a summary of the city’s current recovery and reopening approach for city facilities and services
Boulder has organized reopening phases that are responsive to the state’s levels and that allow the city flexibility to make decisions that make sense for the organization and community. The city will continue to follow state and county public health guidance, however, the timelines and phases that Boulder is adopting take into account operational capability and resource allocation, as well as community need.
Many formerly in-person services are now available as virtual services to help meet the needs of our community in this interim period.
The city has moved into Phase 2 of reopening, which is generally summarized below and intended to align with the state’s Safer-at-Home guidance.
Phase 2 : June to August 31
