Parking enforcement to be increased at Hessie Trailhead
Aug 25th
Boulder County, Colo. – The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office and Transportation Department will be enforcing parking restrictions beginning this weekend at the Hessie Trailhead on Fourth of July Road (County Road 111) west of the town of Eldora.
Weekend congestion near the trailhead and along the road has resulted in gridlock and created unsafe conditions for residents and visitors. As a result of the number of vehicles and people attempting to navigate through the area, it would be impossible for an emergency vehicle to get from Eldora to the trailhead in a timely manner.
Watch video of traffic congestion.
“This is major safety issue that needs to be addressed right away,” Boulder County Transportation Director George Gerstle said. “There is very limited parking and it is important to keep the road clear so people can recreate safely and access is maintained for emergency responders.”
Parking is also discouraged in the town of Eldora. Visitors are encouraged to carpool or visit other locations during the remaining busy summer weekends.
