Website Survey Results
Thank you to the 683 persons that took our recent online
survey rating the Downtown Boulder website. The results
showed that 70% primarily use the site for event information
and 39% visit for shopping/dining information. When
asked satisfaction with the website on a scale of 1
to 5 (1=”Very Unsatisfied”/5=”Very
Satisfied”), the average score was 4.1.
Downtown Boulder would also like to congratulate
Ellen Buckley of Westminster on winning the $150 gift
card drawing of those that took the survey.
Parking Paystation Q &
A
Q: What happens
if a pay station doesn’t work?
A: The pay stations communicate
with the parking division employees to report a problem.
The problem will be corrected quickly, but until it
is fixed, it is your responsibility to pay another
nearby unit.
If you have a specific question you would
like answered send an email to parking@dbi.org.

The
sisters, who spent their youth dispensing popcorn and
movie tickets at now bygone theatres here in Boulder,
realized that the silver screen was in their blood.
After both spent time in the corporate world, they made
the switch to cinema with the documentary "Grandpa's
In the Tuff Shed" in 1998 with Kathy as Producer
and Robin as Director. They reprised the theme with
2003's " Grandpa's Still in the Tuff Shed".
