Greetings Main Street Friends!

Celebrating Main Street Campaign 2022

Last year, our partners at DOLA Colorado Main Street initiated the Celebrating Main Street Campaign as a means "to celebrate the places and spaces that are authentically Colorado" and gather information through a survey about what spaces around Colorado Main Streets matter most to locals and visitors alike. The campaign will be active throughout Historic Preservation Month (May 2022) as a way to not only celebrate Historic areas and emphasize the importance of historic preservation, but to also expand on that vision and underscore the economic vitality of these historic downtowns and encourage the exploration of these Main Street businesses, historic buildings, local events, and art. 

We want to hear from everyone, both residents and visitors, about what you think makes our Leadville Main Street great! This survey is open to the public, and will be available throughout the entire month of May. To access the survey in English and Spanish, click the link below.

We look forward to hearing what makes Leadville Main Street worth celebrating!

Leadville Main Street Program focuses on the assets, resources, and people of Leadville, preserving key cultural, historic properties; revitalizing commercial buildings; and adding outdoor features to create a sense of energy for Leadville's future! More about us » and Follow us on Facebook » or email us here.

Lake County knows that we need a public transportation system to connect people to each other, stores and resources, and the outdoors. We are hoping to have a system in place in the next 18 months, but need your help to make sure we create a system that works best for our community. Your answers to this survey will help us understand your travel needs, whether you experience barriers accessing Summit Stage, and whether you feel improved bus service could be a good resource for you.

Initial bus service is planned to connect Leadville and the surrounding neighborhoods. In future years it is possible bus service could be expanded to other parts of Lake County. You may also fill this survey out online at: https://bit.ly/LeadvilleBusSurvey

Please complete the short survey and if you have any questions you can email them to Kayla Marcella at kmarcella@co.lake.co.us.

Parklet & Restroom Project - Update!

Last year, we announced that in 2022, Harrison Avenue will FINALLY get a new public restroom and parklet at the Visitor's Center (adjacent to the parking lot) thanks to our partners at CDOT via the Main Street Revitalization Grant Opportunity #2. We are excited to announce that plans for the restroom and parklet are solidifying! With the oversight and project management of Hope for Homes, We anticipate the parklet opening late summer/early fall. Permitting and planning are underway and construction will be starting soon!

The Leadville Main Street parklet-restroom project will be a great addition to our visitor center in desperate need of better amenities to serve those coming through needing a place to rest, get information, and plan their stay in Leadville. Additionally, this will be another service point for locals and business owners who need reliable bathroom facilities for public use. This project is being implemented in a stakeholder collaboration of the Leadville Main Street Program, Leadville Lake County Economic Development Corporation, Lake County, City of Leadville, Lake County Tourism Panel, Leadville Lake County Chamber of Commerce, Lake County Civic Center Association, Leadville Street Department, Parkville Water, Leadville Sanitation District, and Leadville volunteers.
