Explore Booksellers on Feb. 18 is hosting a non-partisan community forum on Aspen ballot referendums 1 and 2, which will be decided in the March 4 municipal election. The dueling questions were both placed on the ballot via the citizen initiative process as pressure grows to address the aging Castle Creek bridge that carries Highway 82 as it enters town.

Aspen Journalism Executive Director Curtis Wackerle will moderate the forum, taking place in the Bookstore's Solarium from 4 to 5:30 p.m., with Terry Paulson & Neil Siegel representing the group in favor of Referendum 1 and Mike Maple & Rachel Richards speaking on behalf of Referendum 2.  (Aspen Night Photo Credit: J.D.
