2 <br />Lyons to Boulder Trail <br />TRANS <br />From 2013 Status Report: Boulder County worked to develop a master plan for the proposed Lyons to <br />Boulder Regional Trail (formerly known as the feeder canal trail) in 2008 and 2009, developing three <br />alternative alignments with extensive public input. The County Commissioners suspended planning process <br />in Fall 2009 after the Northern Colorado Water Conservation District rescinded their trail development <br />guidelines, making it clear that they were unlikely to grant permission in the near future for use of the <br />Feeder Canal for any part of the Lyons to Boulder trail. <br />2016 Update: Additional options may come up in the planning process for the Rocky Mountain Greenway <br />Phase 2. <br />3 <br />St. Vrain Greenway Trail <br />Boulder County Transportation, Parks and Open Space and Longmont Open Space have worked together to <br />design a trail connection between Golden Ponds and Pella Crossing. POS is currently repairing flood <br />damage to the Pella Ponds trail system. With the annexation of the Golden property into Longmont, the <br />City of Longmont is planning to design and construct portions of the trail in 2017-18. Boulder County is <br />working to secure necessary property easements and review the design in light of recent POS acquisitions. <br />Once complete, Boulder County may be willing to reapply for GOCO funding and begin construction of the <br />trail segment between Airport Road and Pella Ponds. <br />4 <br />Lyons to Rabbit <br />Mountain connector <br />trail <br />POS <br />From 2013 Status Report: This potential trail connection will be considered in the Rabbit Mountain <br />Management Plan update, which began in 2013, but is currently on hold because of shifts in department <br />priorities and workloads caused by the 2013 flood. <br />2016 update: This project is not currently on the Parks and Open Space CIP and is tentatively scheduled to <br />start in the 2018-2020 timeframe. <br />5 <br />Lyons to Hall Ranch <br />connection along Old <br />South Road or State <br />Highway 7 <br />From 2013 Status Report: The Hall II property sustained extensive damage in the 2013 flood. The North <br />Foothills Open Space Management Plan Update was scheduled for 2014-2015, but is currently on hold due <br />to flood recovery work. The update will include evaluating trail options and wildlife habitat protection. <br />Funding for improvements identified in the plan is included in the Recreation and Facilities CIP in 2017, but <br />the timing will likely be pushed back. <br />2016 Update: NFOS Management Plan update planning timing dependent on quarry reclamation and <br />bridge repair, possible high cost. <br />43 <br />
