Highway 85 <br />Littleton, Colorado 80125 <br />Dear Grant Selection Committee, <br />On behalf of the City of Louisville Open Space Advisory Board (OSAB) 1 am writing in <br />support of the proposed Coal Creek/Rock Creek- Central Connection trail project. Our board <br />annually proposes and prioritizes trail projects throughout the City and this trail alignment has <br />consistently been selected as OSAB's top priority. This trail would serve to connect two <br />regional trails, provide wildlife habitat, connect communities and enhance our working <br />partnerships with Boulder County and the City of Lafayette. <br />The Coal Creek trail runs through the City of Louisville and is one of our most prized and <br />highly used trails. The Coal Creek trail offers an array of experiences to our citizens including <br />wildlife viewing, commuter routes to school and work long distance running and biking and a <br />place for families to connect with nature and spend time enjoying a leisurely stroll. Our board <br />would like to share this amazing trail with other communities, this goal could be accomplished <br />with your support and funding of the propose trail connection. <br />Connecting to the Rock Creek trail would also benefit and enhance the lives of Louisville, <br />Lafayette and Superior citizens. The proposed trail connection would provide access to other <br />communities and other Open Space properties such as the Carolyn Holmberg Preserve <br />(including Stearns Lake), Mayhoffer and the Boulder County Land Venture. This trail would <br />also provide longer loop trail experiences and exposure to more rural agricultural settings. <br />As chair of the Open Space Advisory Board 1 highly encourage you to support this project. <br />This is an amazing opportunity to connect communities and enhance the lives of citizens in <br />Boulder County. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tom Davinroy, Chair of the Open Space Advisory Board <br />749 MAIN STREET LOUISVILLE, CO 80027 PH: (303) 33.547.35 FAX (303) 335 -4738 <br />www.ci.Iouisville.co.us <br />PARKS RECREATION SENIOR.
