Welcome to Valley Roundup, a look at the week’s news with various writers and editors in the valley.
This week the Aspen City Council decided on a new plan to increase the number of lodging beds in town. But, is anyone happy with the plan?
It looks like the economy has recovered as there is very little vacancy in the commercial core of Aspen.
Does Pitkin County need bigger bike lanes? We might just get them.
A local service man, Captain William H. DuBois is being remembered.
Glenwood Springs wants to get tough on unlocked trash.
And a new draft of a Water Plan plan for the state has some of the Western Slope saying “Not So Fast!”
This week I’m joined by Curtis Wackerle, Managing Editor of the Aspen Daily News, Randy Essex, Editor of the Glenwood Post Independent and Brent Gardner-Smith of Aspen Journalism.
