Colorado Springs' mayoral and city council elections are arguably some of the most important elections since the city's incorporation in 1886.

To help voters make informed decisions as they choose seven new city council members and a "strong mayor," the Trails and Open Space Coalition is offering two candidates forums:

City Council Candidates' Forum:
6 p.m. Tuesday, March 1, at Penrose Library in the Carnegie Room

And, in partnership with Catamount Institute, Mayoral Candidates' Forum:
5:30 p.m. Monday, March 14th at Penrose Library in the Carnegie Room

We will be questioning candidates on their vision for our city,  the value they place on our parks, trails and open spaces and their ideas for how best to maintain these valuable assets.

For more information, please call our office at 633-6884.
