Here are the top three stories today in Boulder:

1. There's a new team member at the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office and he is super cute. He has big brown eyes, short brown hair and big, soft floppy-ears. His name is Watson and he is a bloodhound puppy, who has been donated in memory of Sgt. Steingraber, who worked with the Boulder Police Department. As he grows Watson will be learning lots, including tracking and trailing skills with his partner. Welcome Watson! (FOX 31 Denver)
2. Residents are being asked to participate in a Virtual Public Meeting to Improve Safety and Mobility on US 287! During the virtual meeting, participants can learn about the corridor's background and current conditions, share safety concerns and mobility needs, and provide input to the project team.
