Pueblo Canyon Trail Conceptual Plan

Project History
Some aspects of this project originated from the 2017 Flow Trail Project, which was not completed due to lack of funding and overall objective. The scope of Flow Trail Project was to include consultation of existing flagged trail corridor and 3-4 alternatives to include feasibility, safety, and functionality for a “green” level International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) flowtrail and design of a seven (7) mile trail with a number and type of features anticipated.

Scope of Project
The County Community Services Department (CSD) is seeking a professional consulting service to provide a conceptual design and layout for new and renovated trails in Pueblo Canyon. The concept would look at possible MTB skills park in the Canyon as well. The desire is to look at concepts of a long multi-use trail approximately 7 miles, two-three loops of the main trail to allow for National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) events, a multi-use corridor trail connecting North Mesa to Downtown across Pueblo Canyon. The concepts would provide with cost estimates and presented to community stakeholders for modifications and prioritizations.

This process will solicit community feedback and input at several points in the process to develop and prioritize conceptual designs for projects to be shared with County Council for funding consideration.
