Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />September 11, 2024 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />• Susan: feeling of rest of board that we should leave it alone. Charles regrets bringing <br />it up. <br />7. 7:25 pm Board Updates <br />• Susan - Follow the Facebook Page: Fans of Louisville Open Space and Parks <br />• David — Boulder -Erie Regional Trail (BERT) update. Does not border Louisville but <br />will be a major new addition to regional recreation and commuting trails. Alignment is <br />likely to follow defunct railroad tracks from Valmont/63rd crossing through Teller <br />Farm/White Rock, 95' Street, crossing US287 at an underpass, and then connecting <br />to Erie trail system. <br />• David — report from the special city Council meeting of Aug. 27th. Regarding e-bikes, <br />council is recommending a 15-mph speed limit on trails regardless of means and <br />allowing class III e-bikes on trails. The message is that they care about behavior, not <br />hardware. There was no discussion about enforcement. <br />• Ember: no other front range community allows class -Ill bikes. <br />• Michiko: timeline? <br />• David: none yet. Charles suggested we discuss this with Lafayette in our joint <br />meeting in October. <br />• Susan: discuss in November meeting. [wasn't this moved to the October pre - <br />meeting?] <br />• Susan gave kudos to staff on the fire mitigation event at North OS was great. <br />• Susan recognized the Weed Whackers for over 140 hours volunteer effort. <br />• Grants Tiger Team — Andy: focus on grand opportunities for CIP projects first. <br />• Acquisition Tiger Team — Michiko: nothing this month. <br />8. 7:35 pm Discussion Item: Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department Long <br />Range Plan Discussion. Presented by Bryon Webber, PROS Project Manager <br />(see revised packet for slides presented) <br />• Major item of discussion was why the Trails plan was being bid separately from the <br />OS plan. <br />• Andy: why trails plan bid separately? Easy to miss. <br />• BW: casting a broad net <br />• Charles was disturbed that Trails is split off from OS and might not happen. He <br />would rather see a more holistic OS plan that covers both conservation and trails. <br />• Adam: trend is toward combined expertise in consulting firms. We have a couple <br />trails -specific consultants who are interested. Funding for trails (2C) is already there. <br />• Charles: since we've never had a trails plan, maybe lead with trails instead of listing <br />it as an add/alt? <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />4 <br />
