Pearl Street is One of 15 Great Places in America
 

The American Planning Association (APA) named the Pearl Street Mall as one of six Great Public Spaces. The Great Places of 2015 are places that are unique and exemplary in their amenities and infrastructure, cultural identity and use of sustainable and innovative practices. For over 100 years, Pearl Street has served Boulder in a variety of diverse capacities. Since 1977, the Pearl Street Mall has carried on that tradition. Go Pearl Street!
