Fines for crossing solid line in and out of express lanes on I-25 start Thursday in Larimer, Weld counties
Eric Riker: I’ve watched so many people enter and exit wrong to or from the toll lanes. You will be ticketed if the dashed line isn’t on your side of the lane and there’s a solid line with it and you change lanes whether you are in the express lane and leaving or visa versa If it is just a dashed line go for it either way.
ElJayy Castillon: I got a ticket for this like two years ago.
Eldon Poynor: Get rid of the toll charges and open it up.
Marc Sagrillo: Our tax dollars at work!
Sam Buchanan: Why don’t you just let us have three lanes? How is it that our tax dollars built that lane but it’s not open to the public?

New Loveland building codes raise affordability concerns for City Council
Leonardo Grassens: Having good energy standards makes housing more affordable if done properly. I worked on Habitat houses in Longmont and was curious about the extra insulation they put between the garage and the house: Cost about $200 per house plus labor. ROI less than two years.
Alan Hauser: Fear of litigation is the city attorney’s answer to everything that comes across his desk. Let’s move on and stop with the sky is falling mentality!
Deb DZ: Loveland isn’t affordable, that ship has sailed.
Casa Mariana: Cost of a damned building permit is about 1/4 the cost of the house. No wonder there’s a housing crisis. All so Loveland can subsidize McWhinneyville.
Snow photos: Loveland sees 4-9 inches in May storm
Eric Hoffman: That picture doesn’t look like 4-9 inches.
Lovelanders feeling pain at the pump as gas prices surge
Efrain Gonzales: An extra $12 a week is nothing. I spent more on energy drinks than gas last week.
Scott Belk: Did anybody feel the pain four years ago?
Levi McGoo: Don’t worry, it will be cheaper later
Matt Wade: I’d gladly pay $100 a gallon as long as we get that beautiful ballroom we’ve all been asking for!
Doris Mondragon-Campos: Everybody is, not just Loveland.
Meet the team keeping Loveland’s fire engines, trash trucks, and snow plows running
Joshua Moore: Fleet maintenance is probably one of the most crucial departments the city has! Without them Loveland would come to a screeching halt. They are all very good mechanics.
Mark Jackson: The Loveland Fleet Maintenance team is top notch. Loveland is blessed to have their skills and expertise!
Nicole Yost: So cool! Thanks for the behind the scenes look at how we operate!
Mark Lyons: The heartbeat that helps us complete the mission.
Loveland City Council backs Brian Waldes for interim city manager role
Aaron Garber: I’ll do the job for $55K. Serving the public has its own rewards.
Leonardo Grassens: Brian Waldes is a good choice.
Hans Gruber: These people will say yes to anything.
Karin Hromada Delaney: No! He is extraordinarily condescending to residents of Loveland. Bad choice!
