An Arborist <br />License will be issued to tree care com- <br />panies who fulfill minimum insurance <br />requirements, employ at least one certi- <br />fied arborist, and conduct all work in <br />accordance with federally mandated tree <br />care standards and safety requirements <br />(ANSI A300 and Z133.1 respectively). <br />1hese requirements should help <br />protect citizens and their trees from <br />under insured, unqualified tree care <br />safety of tree workers <br />and the health of our urban forest will <br />benefit from these changes. For a license <br />application or to get additional informa- <br />tion, please contact the Land Manage- <br />at 303.335.4735. <br /> <br /> <br />COAL CREEK TRAIL COMPLETED WITHIN TOWN <br /> <br />"\VThcn <br />W encc. has been the case with some recent improvements to the <br />Coal Creek Regional Trail in Louisville. For years, users of the Coal Creek Trail <br />needed to wind through neighborhoods, walk along road shoulders, or cut <br />through an open field to complete the missing link between County Road and <br />Aspen Way. However, recent land acquisition and trail development has created <br />off-road experience for trail <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />users. <br /> <br />newly completed sections of the Coal Creek Trail include a segment <br />paralleling the Bella Vista Drive extension between County Road and Roosevelt <br />Avenue which was completed in 2005. Most recently, the section of trail south <br />of Bella Vista Drive paralleling Roosevelt Avenue was completed in the fall of <br />two sections, which amount to roughly a quarter mile of trail, <br />complete the Coal Creek Regional Trail through the City and fulfill the goal set <br />in 1991 to create a continuous link along Coal Creek through the length of the <br />City. <br />between Louisville, Lafayette, Supe- <br />rior, Boulder County, and the Urban Drainage Flood Control District, is now <br />approximately eight miles in length running continuously from McCaslin Bou- <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />to complete missing links into the City of Boulder, the Town of Erie, and south <br />to Broomfield and the Rock Creek Trail system. <br />Smaller improvements such as resurfacing, improved ditch crossings and <br />improved road crossings will continue to occur annually as every little bit counts <br />toward keeping the Coal Creek Trail a favorite destination for trail users. <br /> <br />COAL CREEK TRAIL <br /> <br /> <br />
