March 23 2026 – WasteLessCOS
Learn how the City of Colorado Springs has been studying our garbage and laying out a plan to divert a lot of that trash away from the landfill and into recycling and composting. Kurian, the City’s project manager for its new Waste Diversion Action Plan shares study and survey results, and explains next steps in the project.
We also get a festival preview from Music Director Steve Harris about the upcoming MeadowGrass Music Festival, which happens every Memorial Day weekend in Black Forest.
Name the train: the Front Range Passenger Rail District invited the public to vote for their favorite of four finalists to name the passenger rail line planned to run up and down Colorado’s front range. That survey closes the day this episode drops, March 23. We briefly discuss the project. Look for one more public meeting in Colorado Springs very soon.
Independent reporter Pam Zubeck shares background and highlights of her reporting in the Pikes Peak Bulletin on Colorado Springs Utilities.
Also on the table – ways we can trim our gas bills now that a gallon of gas is fetching close to $4.00.
