Trail Request Reviewed and approved by the City of Louisville Open Space Advisory Board and the City Council. 1. Overlook Underpass Trail - Connecting Davidson Mesa to the Mayhoffer- Singletree Trail: The underpass at this location is currently under construction and is likely to be complete this fail (2015). The underpass will enable citizen's safe access across Highway 36 which will make a connection possible from the Davidson Mesa trail system to the Mayhoffer - Singletree trail. This connection would allow citizens to access the Cowdrey Draw, Marshall -Mesa, Community Ditch and Doudy Draw trails along with other City of Boulder trails in the Foothills. Louisville would like to continue to work with Boulder County and Superior on this trail alignment and potential future trail construction. Currently, Louisville staff prefers the following three alignments options: West side of the community Ditch, East side of the Community Ditch and Ridgetop. 2. Warembourg Trail- Connecting Coal Creek Trail with Rock Creek Trail and the Carolyn Holmberg Preserve at Rock Creek Farm: This trail would provide a second connection between the regional Coal Creek and Rock Creek trails. This segment would be a more direct connection for Louisville residents as it departs from a more central location within the community. This connection would also provide a nice loop experience by connecting into the proposed 104' Street trail, Although this concept is identified as a conceptual trail corridor in the Boulder County Comprehensive Plan additional discussions is needed to determine trail alignment in regards to agricultural areas and privately owned parcels. This Boulder Valley Comprehensive PIan has this recorded as a conceptual trail corridor. 3. 104" Street Trail- Connecting Coal Creek Trail with Rock Creek Trail and the Carolyn Holmberg Preserve at Rock Creek Farm: The total trail length would be approximately two miles. This trail would connect the regional Coal Creek trail to the Carolyn Holmberg Preserve at Rock Creek Farm, the regional Rock Creek trail and the Sterns Lake trailhead. 4. Dillon Road Crossing and Trail Segment - Connecting Coal Creek Trail to the City of Louisville Power Line Trail: Subject to approval by the City of Louisville Public Works Department, this trail and road crossing would link the regional Coal Creek trail to Louisville's most direct North/South primary trail. This connection would link commuters /trail users to Fireside Elementary, Coal Creek Elementary, the Recreation & Senior Center and South Boulder Road. 41
