Thank you again, Everyone! You can be sure that PATHS will be there working with our City and community to ensure that Hughes is protected for future generations and for our increasingly displaced and impacted wildlife. Our work is not complete just yet!

Much gratitude to the City of Fort Collins, CSU, and especially PATHS volunteers, organizers, supporters, and Fort Collins voters for making the protection of Hughes a reality. 🥰

Hello Hughes Open Space Supporters! It is now too late to mail in your ballot! To ensure that ballots are received by the City Clerk, ballots must be hand-delivered to a drop box location by 7:00 pm on Tuesday, April 6th.

Greetings Hughes Open Space Supporters!

We have several updates for you about our efforts to Get Out The Vote (GOTV) for the Hughes Open Space citizens ballot measure. So without further ado, let’s get to it!

At last night's Council meeting on March 2, 2021, City Council voted 4 to 3 to NOT appeal the Larimer County Judge's decision that court-ordered the City to try to purchase Hughes from CSU after Hughes is zoned Public Open Lands, should the Hughes Open Space ballot measure pass.

We have excellent news regarding the City's lawsuit against half of the citizens ballot measure to conserve Hughes as open space!

We received the court ruling yesterday, and the Judge voted in favor of PATHS, ruling that we ARE legally allowed to direct the City to both ZONE AND ACQUIRE the Hughes stadium property if the ballot measure passes!! Recall that the City was attempting to strike from the ballot measure the entire section about the City having to acquire Hughes if the ballot measure passes. The City's claim that acquiring Hughes should NOT be on the ballot because the citizens do NOT have the legislative right to tell the City what to acquire FELL FLAT, and the Judge ruled with the citizens of Fort Collins.
