Project Overview

This phase of work is planned to extend the St. Vrain Greenway trail west from Golden Ponds Nature Area to Airport Road, linking Longmont's portion of the St. Vrain Greenway trail to Boulder County's planned trail route at Airport Road.

The western portion of the St. Vrain Greenway Regional Trail, which is part of the statewide Colorado Front Range Trail Plan, will ultimately provide a connection between the City of Longmont and the Town of Lyons through the diverse agricultural and natural landscape of the St. Vrain River Valley.

St. Vrain Trail Master Plan

In 2004, the City of Longmont adopted the St. Vrain Trail Master Plan. The 2004 Master Plan was the product of a collaborative effort between Boulder County Parks and Open Space, City of Longmont, consultant staff, key stakeholders, and local residents. The 2004 Master Plan identifies the most viable alternative at that time for a recreational trail along the St. Vrain River corridor between the City of Longmont's Golden Ponds Nature Area and the Town of Lyons.

Project Schedule

Funding for St. Vrain Greenway Phase 12 design and construction was reallocated to St. Vrain Greenway trail flood repair after the September 2013 flood. Project funding will be restored at a date yet to be determined.

Information on the flood repair projects can be found on the Resilient St. Vrain Project site.
