Colorado State Trails grant sponsorship for PLPOA North Pagosa Boulevard trail extension
PLPOA presented a request for the county to sponsor a Colorado State Trails grant application to extend the North Pagosa Boulevard trail from Lake Forest Circle north to Aspen Glow (nearly a mile), connecting into Lake Pagosa Park and Twin Creek. Total project estimated at $550,000, with roughly $350,000 PLPOA cash match and a grant request of about $150,000 (max $200,000). Davis Engineering is designing the trail within county right-of-way. Discussion covered a proposed alignment shift across North Pagosa Boulevard to move it ~80 feet away from Powderhorn homes, requiring two additional crosswalks near Aspen Glow and Oxbow Circle. No vote taken; item to be added to the September 1 agenda for approval of sponsorship. Letter of intent deadline September 4, application due October 2.
