🚒 Wildfire Evacuation Drill: Did It Work?

Cheyenne Mountain School District 12 conducted a large-scale wildfire evacuation drill this past Friday at The Broadmoor World Arena. Around 250 students, parents, and first responders participated in the exercise, designed to prepare the district for a potential wild fire emergency. With the help of the Pikes Peak Regional Office of Emergency Management and nearby school districts, the drill tested the district’s evacuation procedures, which include transporting students to the arena and reuniting them with their parents. The plan, developed earlier this year, addresses the district’s unique risks and transportation challenges. After the drill, families and officials reflected on the successful trial run.

🚦 Parking App Frustration: What to Do Now

Colorado Springs’ mobile parking app

Downtown visitors using Colorado Springs’ mobile parking app have reported difficulties in syncing payments with meters. While the app-based system, introduced four years ago, was designed for convenience, occasional WiFi delays between the app and meters have caused confusion. City officials note that parking enforcement officers can check payments via license plates, assuring drivers that they won’t be penalized for technical delays.

Drivers are advised to verify their license plate details before paying and to contact the city if an error occurs. The city is actively addressing the issue by installing improved WiFi hubs. Full Story
