OSMP rolls out Panorama Point nightly-closure pilot and outlines ranger program upgrades

Nov 18, 2025

OSMP staff described new infrastructure and enforcement measures on Flagstaff Corridor — including automated control of the Boulder Star, webcams, and a pilot nightly closure of Panorama Point with gates and signage — and presented a ranger-program update covering patrol trends, body cameras, mapping tools and planned drone policy.

The full story

OSMP staff briefed the board on operations in the Flagstaff Corridor and a set of operational and technology updates for rangers. Jeff Haley summarized recent work: the Boulder Star lighting now uses a wind sensor and can be turned off automatically during high wind/red-flag conditions; staff installed webcams and trailhead cameras to monitor use and support enforcement; and the department is piloting a nightly closure and one-way circulation at Panorama Point using two gates, striping and signage to discourage nighttime parking and illegal activity.
