COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — In a 6-2 vote, the Colorado Springs City Council approved an ordinance that will vacate a portion of Boulder Street between Nevada Avenue and Weber Street.
In March, the city council denied Colorado Springs School District 11's request to keep Boulder Street closed to the public. It's part of the district's huge project to upgrade Palmer High School, including bringing a track to Colorado Springs' oldest high school.
