As a resident, I can honestly say that Fort Collins' city government is exceptionally well run. That's one of the reasons why we voted in favor of this.
The Boulder vote was to override the ban, but the Fort Collins vote was to allow the city to grab $150M in bonds for fiber deployment. FoCo already voted to override the ban a few years ago.
The Fort Collins vote was to allow the city the option to take out $150M in municipal bonds for city-wide fiber installation. This was pretty much the last voter hurdle before the city moves forward.
Boulder is still in an earlier phase -- the vote was to allow the city to start the planning process. Greeley also voted in favor of something similar.
