The Clear Creek Trail grows more popular (and more heavily trafficked) every year. For the past few years, the City has been looking for ways to re-route the faster-moving bike traffic away from pedestrians in the downtown area (approximately Hwy 58 to Ford Street).
They were considering a "bike bypass" paralleling the Church Ditch (approximately 7th Street).
They have also discussed linking the sidewalks along the Creek between Washington and the new City Hall. They have been discussing building an underpass under Ford Street, since that crossing tends to be dangerous for pedestrians.
Instead of either of these alternatives, tonight's open house will describe a plan to widen the sidewalk on the south side of the Creek. This is causing dismay to some of the residents of the senior housing apartments and Millstone Condominiums. They are not anxious to have more, higher-speed traffic in front of their residences.
This meeting is your chance to discuss this plan with city staff. More information
