Longmont-to-Boulder (LoBo) Trail

Overview:

The Longmont-to-Boulder Trail is a 12-mile planned trail that is part of the trail system in Gunbarrel, Niwot, and County Open Space Properties that connects the City of Boulder with the City of Longmont.

The primarily soft-surface LoBo Trail was identified in the 2003 Regional Trails planning process as preferable to a hard surface connection originally planned to be directly adjacent to the Diagonal Highway. Instead, some spot improvements to the shoulders along the highway were identified for a hard-surface connection for bicyclists with the LoBo Trail serving as a more meandering connection for both recreational and commuting use.

Longmont-to-Boulder Trail Connections Project:

Boulder County is working on designs for three projects connected with the Longmont-to-Boulder Trail.  The purpose of the project is to construct missing trail segments between Longmont and Boulder and to replace the 95th Street bridge over Left Hand Creek.

The project includes:

These projects have been approved for federal transportation enhancement funds.  Additional funding for the two trail segments is from the countywide Transportation Improvement program approved by voters in 2001, and from the City of Longmont for the 95th Street Bridge segment.  Construction of the 95th Street Bridge replacement is anticipated for winter of 2010 with trail construction to follow.

Project Open House

On Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 staff from Boulder County, the City of Longmont, and City of Boulder were available to answer questions about the LOBO Trail Connections Project.  Approximately 40 people attended the open house, which was a walk-through format with exhibits of all three trail projects.
