2014 Community Trails, Open Space and GIS Requests Please return information by Friday, September 25, 2015 to ensure consideration in the Boulder County Parks and Open Space 2016 -2021 capital improvements planning (CIP) process. I. Open Space and Trail Requests: send to Tina Nielsen tnielsen(a,bouldercounty.org 303 - 678 -6279 Please include contact info for person submitting request, and whether this request has been approved by your advisory board and city council /town board. A. Open Space requests: Through the efforts of all of our open space programs, we have preserved a lot of open space in Boulder County. What significant parcels remain in your area in order to consider the job done? Please list properties numbered in order of priority, even if you have submitted them in a previous year. Please include property owner or location, acreage and attach a map if possible. Include any additional information that may be relevant, such as how it fits in with municipal or county plans, approximate cost, whether or not your community can share in the cost, etc. Refer to Attachment B: 2014 Community Open Space Requests — Summary and Status Report for responses to 2014 requests. B. Trail requests: The planning, design, construction, and management of Boulder County's trail system is a shared responsibility between the Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department (POS) and the Boulder County Transportation Department (Transportation). Trail requests are reviewed by staff members from both POS and Transportation. The historic September 2013 flood caused severe damage to the County's parks and trails infrastructure. A huge amount of staff time has been reallocated to flood recovery work, and the County has had to scale back on some projects, including CIP work. As a result, the county will not likely be in a financial position to respond to trail requests in the near future. We do, however, want to keep a dialogue going about the progress we are making and how we can accomplish our mutual goals. Please list projects numbered in order of priority, even if you have submitted them in a previous year. Attachment C 2014 Community Trail Requests — Summary and Status Report has responses to 2014 requests and updates to requests from previous years. II. GIS information: send to Kristi Van den Bosch kvandenbosch (a,bouldercounty.org 303 - 678 -6308 Boulder County Parks and Open Space GIS staff works to keep maps showing open space in Boulder County up to date.
