City Council approves closure of street for Palmer High School renovations

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Colorado Springs City Council approved an ordinance with a 6-2 vote to vacate a portion of Boulder Street located between North Nevada Avenue and North Weber Street.

Back in March, the council denied Colorado Springs School District 11's request to close the road as part of its plan to upgrade Palmer High School.

Two councilmembers changed their votes since March, approving the ordinance after the district made changes, which included adding more safety measures.
