You will be shuttled to Flagstaff Mountain where you can view the city’s pattern of development primarily shaped by citizen’s recognition of the value of preserving open lands as early as 1898. Then it’s onto Pearl Street Mall where you will experience one of the most successful and economically viable malls of its type. Next stop, Dushanbe Tea House where you will hear about the plans for Boulder’s Civic Area that was shaped by a community collaboration process that engaged a wide range of uncommon participants: scientists, artists, athletes and preschoolers.
