Project Background
- The Boulder County Parks & Open Space and Transportation
Departments and our partners are working to complete the Coal Creek
and Rock Creek Trails in the greater Superior area. Other trail
connections in the area were first depicted in the Boulder County
Comprehensive Plan.
- The trail corridor project area includes property owned and
managed by Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department, Town of
Superior Open Space, and City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain
Parks.
- The product of this planning effort will be a regional trail
corridor alignment; detailed engineering and construction will take
place over the next several years.
The Trail Corridor Management Plan will address:
- Regional Trail Connections
- Habitat Protection
- Natural Resources
- Agricultural Management
- Cultural Resources
Project Progress
The project team has held two public meetings and has gathered
community feedback on the conceptual trail alignments from the Marshall
Mesa area to Superior, and from Superior to the Coalton Trail. A
preferred trail alignment has been developed that takes into
consideration the diverse constraints and opportunities in the project
area.
See the maps below to learn more about the resources in the project
area and to view a map of the preferred trail alignment.
During the next few months, our project consultants and staff will be
developing a trail management plan. This plan will likely be presented
to the Parks and Open Space Advisory Committee at their July or August
meeting, followed by presentation to the Board of County Commissioners.
This webpage will be updated when the dates for those hearings are
scheduled.
