Land swap could aid in Town Pump plans

A land swap is being considered to allow for a retention pond west of North Adams Street in Boulder — and would be part of Town Pump’s expansion plans. 

The four-acre pond is designed to alleviate flooding in that area, according to Mayor Rusty Giulio at Monday’s City Council meeting. 

The city has identified a parcel it believes it owns at the end of Edgerton Street, said Giulio. That parcel, along with four acres north of Adams Street, would be part of the deal, but in a phone interview Tuesday, he declined to confirm the details of how the swap would transpire. Giulio mentioned at the meeting that Skytop Ranch was involved.
