Pikes Peak Greenway Trail Maintenance
October 22, 2021
Major maintenance project begins on Pikes Peak Greenway Trail

The Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department will begin maintenance work Monday, Oct. 25 on a section of the Pikes Peak Greenway Trail in northern Colorado Springs.

To lessen user impacts, the work is being done over the winter months. The project will result in significant improvements to the trail as well as improved overall safety for trail users.

The project will remove the existing asphalt from a 1.25 mile section of the trail replacing it with concrete between the overpass at I-25 and Rockrimmon Boulevard going north to the confluence of Cottonwood and Monument Creeks, near Pikes Peak Indian Motorcycle. The new trail section will be widened from 10 feet to 12 feet, plus a new gravel running path adjacent to it.
A retaining wall will be removed and reconstructed in order to install a new storm drain under the trail corridor. The trail will be raised in this area to meet proper accessibility guidelines for trail construction. 

Additional drainage improvements will be made by lowering utility on the west side of the pedestrian bridge by the Criterium Bike Shop. This work will be performed by Colorado Springs Utilities. 
FUNDING
The construction budget of $1 million consists of funds from multiple sources, including a grant from the Colorado Department of Transportation and Pikes Peak Rural Transit Authority.
Construction Timeline

The construction for the project is estimated to take six months to complete. The plans have been approved and the City of Colorado Springs' Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department will begin construction of the new concrete trail in October 2021. All work is expected to be complete in April 2022, weather and resource dependent.
