Open Space and Mountain Parks to host open house to discuss community management proposals for land west of Boulder
Dec 1st
The City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) department invites members of the community to an open house on Monday, Dec. 6. The purpose of this meeting is to share information and gather feedback about a set of recommendations for management of the West Trail Study Area (West TSA). The open house will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. at the East Boulder Community Center, 5660 Sioux Drive in Boulder.
A group of local residents interested in recreation and resource conservation has been working with city staff since September 2009 to develop recommendations on practical and feasible ways to improve community services in the West TSA. This Community Collaborative Group (CCG) includes representatives from recreation, conservation, and cultural resource interests as well as neighborhoods adjacent to the West TSA. After 14 months of meetings and field trips, the CCG has released its preliminary proposals and is seeking input from the public.
The CCG’s proposals will guide the West TSA Plan. The plan will provide management direction for OSMP lands north of Eldorado Springs Drive, south of Linden Avenue and west of Broadway/Colorado Highway 93 for the next ten years. Background documents, including the CCG’s recommendations, are available at the West TSA website, www.westtsa.org.
“We are very grateful for the time, energy and creativity contributed by CCG members. They deliberated over many difficult issues and are proposing an extensive and well‑balanced mix of recommendations,” said Steve Armstead, project manager for OSMP. “The group’s input has broadened our perspectives and provided a strong grassroots foundation for the West TSA plan.”
For information on OSMP planning processes or to learn how to get involved, please visit www.westtsa.org or call 303-441-3440.
