LL Cityo Louisville <br />PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE <br />Memorandum <br />To: Open Space Advisory Board <br />From: Ember Brignull, Open Space Superintendent <br />Date: December 14, 2022 <br />Re: Discussion Item 9: Brief Overview of the Overlook Underpass <br />Trail <br />Purpose: <br />The purpose of this memo is to provide the board with an overview of the Overlook <br />Underpass Trail. The board continues to have interest in this trail connection and <br />recently supported this trail project via a request to Boulder County Parks and Open <br />Space for potential future trail partnership opportunities. <br />Background: <br />The City has been engaged in this trail discussion with Boulder County Parks and <br />Open Space and Superior for over a decade. Both Louisville and Superior have <br />submitted this trail request to Boulder County Parks and Open Space in past years. <br />For Louisville, the first request went to the Boulder County Parks and Open Space in <br />2012. The County is in support of this project and responded as follows in 2022: <br />"Boulder County has recommended a potential alignment to Louisville for this <br />trail request through county -owned and agriculturally leased open space. <br />Although the county will work with Louisville on this request, the county has <br />not identified staffing or funding availability for this project within the next <br />three-year planning horizon. Once the city agrees to an alignment, the county <br />will take any necessary management plan changes to POSAC and the <br />BOCC. Following that approval, the county expects that the city will formally <br />approach the county to establish a budget and schedule for the design and <br />implementation of the project. " <br />Next Steps: <br />To move this project forward the City would need to respond to the County by <br />selecting a mutually agreed upon alignment, the County would update Management <br />Plans as necessary, and the City would then need to commit managing the project <br />through design and construction. <br />Attachments: <br />1.
