Mark Twain As I write this it is 70 degrees on a February day, and while I plan to ski more this winter, thoughts turn towards spring. Warm weather means lots of good things in Louisville--eating outside on downtown patios, spending more time on our open space trails, summer sports leagues starting, and this spring we will see the reopening of the Coal Creek Golf Course. The course, which was devastated by the floods of September 2013, has undergone major repair and reconstruction, and depending on the weather and grass growth should open in June. I feel I should add “Lord willing and the creek don't rise” (again)! The new and improved course will again serve the Men's, Women's and Stroker's leagues as well as the many individual golfers – and the Monarch High School Golf teams will be able to return to their home course. The non-golfers in Louisville can look forward to July 4th fireworks on the driving range this year, trying our new, first-in-the-state Hi- malayan putting green (fun for the whole family), and having a snack or a meal at the new restaurant opening in the clubhouse. Discussions are underway regarding other uses of the course, including Frisbee Golf evenings, beginner golfer events and bird watching tours along Coal Creek. A Message from the Mayor Continued on page 2 Construction Schedules and Impacts With the warmer weather comes the construction season. 2015 will have many projects that are very visible and will impact travel. We would like to thank everyone for your patience and understanding during the construction season and remind everyone to exercise caution when driving, biking, or walking through a construction zone. Xcel Gas Line Replacement - Beginning in early March, Xcel Energy will be replacing its gas main adjacent to Highway 42 and then south on 96th Street. Xcel expects the work to be complete this summer, weather permitting. Travel within the construction zone on Highway 42 will be impacted, including limited turning options at many intersections. A detailed map of the area and the impacts is available on the City's web site under construc- tion updates. For additional information, please contact Xcel Energy at 1-855-875-7633. Downtown Construction - Multiple projects are scheduled for downtown this year, a project map is available on the city’s web site.
