New Pueblo Chipotle set to open soon after city OKs traffic signal
A new Chipotle Mexican Grill at 2065 W. Pueblo Blvd. is expected to open by the end of the year following Pueblo City Council's approval of a permanent traffic signal at Mirror Avenue and Pueblo Boulevard. The Colorado Department of Transportation required the installation of the traffic signal to allow businesses in the area, including the next-door Starbucks, to operate. The permanent stoplight does not need to be completed before businesses can operate, but city council was required to approve the project ahead of the new Chipotle's opening, according to Pueblo Public Works Director Andrew Hayes. A temporary traffic signal was previously installed in the area, which allowed the Starbucks to open in mid-March. Along with new traffic signals and poles at the intersection, the city also plans to install raised medianson Pueblo Boulevard, approximately 1,200 feet to the east and 2,000 feet to the west of Mirror Avenue, according to a background paper for the resolution passed Nov. 9. The project is primarily funded by $1.7 million from the city's Sales and Use Tax Capital Improvement Projects Fund, otherwise known as the half-cent sales tax fund, as well as $301,893 from developer Derrick Martinez Holdings, the property owner for

Pueblo Judge William Alexander fails to win retention
A Pueblo judge was one of just three Colorado judges up for retention in 2026 who was not retained by voters in the Nov. 3 election. Pueblo County voters opted not to retain Judge William Alexander , with 58.45% voting against his retention, according to Pueblo County unofficial election results.

Alexander presides over 100% of the dependency and neglect docket and 15% of the criminal docket for the 10th Judicial District. He was appointed to the court by former Gov. John Hickenlooper in 2012. Alexander did not respond to a request for comment from the Chieftain .
