E-Use Trail Rules & Etiquette
|
As warmer weather encourages more of us to recreate outside on city trails, the City of Steamboat Springs wants users to be aware of the 'rules of the trail' and how to recreate safely. With increased trail use, there has been a surge in new electric assist devices that may not be permitted. Only Class 1 e-bikes and e-scooters are allowed on paved trails, and e-toys are not permitted on trails, streets or sidewalks.

Haymaker Golf Course swung into its 23rd season of play last Thursday, May 14. The course opened with enhanced public safety protocols designed to protect staff, guests and the community. The 18-hole course is open for walking (no carts at this time) from 7 AM to 5 PM daily with tee times available to Routt and Moffat County residents. The practice facility, including driving range and putting greens, will be closed until May 21.

The Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Center re-opened for business on Saturday, May 16. Anyone who wishes to visit the facility will need to make a court reservation online. During the initial reopening phase, there will be limits on the number of people allowed in the facility, and patrons can expect to see several new procedures that facilitate social distancing, help increase sanitation, and limit shared equipment.

Socially Distant Gardening
|
Do you want to be outside and get your hands dirty this summer? Social Gardening at the Yampa River Botanic Park will now become Socially Distant Gardening. For those who would like to help out in the garden, you will be able to sign up for shifts starting on May 20. Shifts will be limited to 9 volunteers at a time, and volunteers must register in advance, wear a face covering, and bring their own tools and gloves.

Transportation Master Plan
|
The Transportation Master Plan hit the digital highways this past week, and online opportunities to comment and weigh in will be taking place over the next few weeks. While many of the initial Q&A sessions took place last week, the virtual open house will be available through May 29. Visit the online portal to learn more, watch videos, take the community survey and participate in the online Q&A session.

We know that many of you are anxiously awaiting updates on summer activities. We have been closely monitoring both state and local health guidelines, and have developed recommendations and plans for summer programming. These plans will be presented to City Council during tonight's meeting, and we hope to have details for you after the meeting, once more formal decisions and council direction is made.
