Colorado governor wants public input on proposed pedestrian bridge outside the Colorado State Capitol Building
Gov. Jared Polis wants Coloradans' opinions about a proposed new pedestrian bridge outside the Colorado State Capitol. The proposed walkway from the Capitol across Lincoln Street and into Veterans Park is expected to cost up to ($18 or) $28 million. Polis launched a statewide survey about the plans at "Now is the time where we have to figure out is this going to happen or not," Polis told CBS News Colorado's Shaun Boyd. "So, what do people want? Do they want to see a celebrate 150th with a 150 walkway? Do they want small projects in other parts the state? Or do they want nothing at all?" People on social media have criticized the bridge since the Capitol Building Advisory Committee agreed in an 8-4 vote to refer the project to the legislature's Capitol Development Committee. One person on Instagram wrote, "Like putting a bumper sticker on a Ferrari."

Newton Falls community gathers for Tornado Walk
NEWTON FALLS, Ohio (WKBN) — The community gathered Saturday in Newton Falls to tour the village and visit sites that were damaged from the 1985 tornado outbreak in honor of its 40th anniversary. The Tornado Walk included stops at the First Church of God, Veterans Park, and the Bash Home. Many shared stories of what they remember about the places and events during the storms. Some shared their personal experiences of witnessing the tornadoes. 'I looked out the front porch. I saw the tornado coming. My two boys were in the bathtub getting their baths, and I hollered at my wife, and I grabbed the two kids under each arm. We headed for the basement,' said George Paisley, a Newton Falls resident. Paisley said the tornado took the foundation of his house, the garage to his home and his car. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
