Pro' ect Descri tion
RESPONSE
A total of 0 6 miles of trail will be constructed. Trail constructIOn will begIll at the Y oungfield Street underpass
and go east to West Bridge (0.5 miles) At the Prospect Park Bridge 0 I miles of trail will be constructed to the
west. Associated with the trail project are Improvements to the Y oungfield Trailhead.
The existIllg 8-foot wide asphalt trail will be replaced with a lO-foot wide concrete trail. Dunng the
improvement, tree root bridges, pipe culverts, a concrete drainage swale, and curbs will all be installed to help
address long-term maintenance and drainage issues,
Bobcats, pickup trucks, compactor/roller, concrete trucks, small backhoe and a slip-form paver (where possible)
will all be used. The project will be contracted and there will be crews for the concrete installation, including a
ro' ect su erintendent.
Elevation on the project site is 5,400 feet. Geology IS generally allUVial m nature composed of quaternary
alluvium. The Denver Blue FormatIOn is exposed Within Clear Creek. Terrain m the project area IS relatIvely
flat with some undulations not greater than 5 percent. The trail passes through a vanety of vegetation
communities including mixed cottonwood, mixed shrub, and mesIc asslands.
The project will be considered complete when the entIre scope of work has been finished, the punch list IS
com letely addressed b the contractor, and all invoices are aid.

RESPONSE
URGENCY:
The immediate need for this project centers on safety issues. Because of the quantIty and different type of users
on the trail, the condition and width of the trail create an unsafe amenity for these users, A political window of
opportunity exists to replace asphalt With concrete, whICh has not always been supported by past City Councils
The project funding and match are not at risk. The City of Wheat Ridge has budgeted $100,000 for this
approved proJect. In addition, Jefferson County Open Space has pnontized trail replacement, matched the first
two phases of the project, and will likely match the thud phase.
Environmental benefits include draIllage improvements associated with the project that will help with erosion
issues adjacent to the trail. Root bridges will reduce impacts on the trees along the Greenbelt.
TRAIL FEATURES:
The Wheat Ridge Greenbelt portIOn ofthe regional Clear Creek Trail stretches for five miles, runs parallel to
Clear Creek, presents watchable wildhfe opportunities, provides access to the Denver Blue Formation, affords
views of the Front Range, and traverses an area that even today reflects Wheat Ridge's agricultural hentage.
USERS:
An estimated 500,000 recreational users enjoy the trail annually. The primary user groups are walkers, runners,
bicyclists and m-line skaters. All users will benefit from the safety improvements (i.e., increased width and
surface improvements)
The trail, With grades of less than 5 percent, IS designed for beginners and users of all ages and types to enJoy In
an urban community such as Wheat Ridge, there IS a great demand for this type of trail for young families and
semors alike.
TRAIL SIGNIFICANCE:
The Wheat Ridge section of the Clear Creek Trail IS a critical, major link between Golden and Jefferson County
and the Denver and Adams County trail systems. Via thiS system, a bike rider, for example, can travel from
Golden, through Wheat Ridge, to Confluence Park, along Cherry Creek, and arrive at Cherry Creek State Park.
Someday that rider will be able to contmue all the way to Castlewood Canvon.
Positive impacts of this project include upgradmg a major trail linkage, preservmg an east-west access route that
is integral to connecting the statewide trail system as described above

RESPONSE
"STATEWIDE COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN" & "ON NATURE'S TRAIL":
The project ties to the "Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor RecreatIOn Plan" by facihtating access to a natural area
m an urban envIronment, providing recreational opportunities (Le., especially for trail walkers), and maintammg
the sustamabihty of a natural area. The project embraces the 7 strategic goals m "On Nature's Trail."
MAINTENANCE RESOURCE COMMITMENT:
The City of Wheat RIdge will maIlltain the trail in perpetUity The Parks Maintenance, Forestry and Open Space
budget for 2005 is $1,591,832. The Open Space budget is $135,915 specifically and has access to the resources
of the Parks Maintenance and Forestry budget to augment needed maintenance in the Greenbelt. These amounts
do not mclude constructIOn projects in open space. The City of Wheat Ridge has expended $597,000 on new trail
construction m the last 2 years, which includes all grants received.
TRAIL PLANNING AND DESIGN:
The trail planning team includes the Parks and Recreation Director, Park Naturalist, Forestry Assistant and
Engmeering and Natural Resource consultants. The team has over 50 years of combined experience With
planning trails, natural resource management, recreation and park facilities, and related construction.
Prior to development of the trail, environmental assessments were conducted m the field dunng 1994 and 1997 to
determine the route With the least environmental impact. MDG & Associates, Inc completed the "Environmental
Analysis and Evaluation of Trail Corndors of the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt" Three pubhc meetings were held as
part of this process,
The trail project involves replacing an 8-foot wide asphalt trail with a 10-foot wide concrete trail. As an
accessible trail, the maximum grade will be less than 5 percent for any dIstance.
During the trail construction, tree root bridges, pipe culverts, a concrete drainage swale, and curbs will all be
installed. These design features have been incorporated to address the long-term mamtenance and sustainabihty
of the trail
Design standards used included the "American Association of State Highway and TransportatIOn Officials GUide
for the Development of Bicycle FacihtIes" and "Planning Trails With Wildlife m Mind."
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS:
In September 2002, the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation CommiSSIOn approved an Open Space Management
Plan, whIch was adopted by the Wheat Ridge City Council in October 2002. Section 9 of the publicly approved
document outlines several objectives and actions that this project meets. In additIOn, the Parks and RecreatIOn
Commission, who are volunteers appomted by CIty Council, participate in setting budget and project priorities
through monthly meetings,
Major stakeholders include the reSidents of the City of Wheat Ridge and Jefferson County and Jefferson County

It IS important to note that the proposed project site is located within an urban corridor consisting of both
residential and commercial activity There would be no intruSIOns into areas with lIttle eXisting human Impacts,
as the proposed project site is a heavily used recreatIOn corridor Route selectIOn occurs largely wIthm the
footprmt of the eXIstmg recreation trail. Trail Improvements offer the opportunity to correct vanous draIllage
problems, which would reduce erosion along Clear Creek and improve water quality
--
There would be a mmimalloss of foragmg habitat for wildlIfe, as the trail improvements would occur withm the
existing trail footprint. Construction traffic, eqUipment operatIOn, and noise dunng trail work may temporarily
Impact wildlife movement or behavior. Screening of SOCial trails will be provided through placement of fences
to close social trails and revegetation will occur to provide cover, nesting SItes and food, as well as reduce
habitat fragmentation for wildlife. During constructIOn and until vegetation is establIshed silt fences will be
constructed. The Parks and RecreatIOn Department actively works to educate recreation users along the
Greenbelt. Revegetated areas would be Signed and fenced in order to keep trail users out and permit vegetation
establishment. Established plants will also screen trail users from habitat areas for the known populatIOn of Ute
ladies' -tresses orchId.
Currently, wetland and ripanan areas Within the City's open space are disturbed primarily by recreation activity
and associated social trails along the Clear Creek corridor Riparian areas and wetlands would not be impacted
by the proposed project. The proposed project presents the opportunity to continue to restore and enhance
degraded riparian areas along the Greenbelt. In some areas near the project area, live cuttmgs from shrubs (e.g.,
willows) would be used along the streambank. As plantmgs develop they will protect the streambank along
Clear Creek from erOSIOn, mmimIzmg sediment and associated nutnent Impacts downstream. In the long term,
established plants will moderate bank and water temperatures, facilitate colonization of other species, and
proVide cover and forage for wildlife speCIes,
The Wheat Ridge Greenbelt provides habitat for the federally threatened Ute ladies' -tresses orchid (Spiranthes
diluvialis). In 2000, the Colorado Natural Hentage Program (CNHP) conducted a bIOlOgical mventory on behalf
of the City of Wheat Ridge Parks and Open Space Department. As part of this mventory, a small population of
Ute ladies' -tresses orchid was identified and mapped in the vicinity of the existing recreation trail and the project
area, ThIS population of Ute ladies' -tresses orchid will not be Impacted by the proposed project. There are no
wetland or cultural resource Issues m the project area.
While the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt hlstoncally has been hayed, cropped, grazed, and mined for gravel, it
important habitat for a wide range of plant and wildlIfe species, The Greenbelt IS part of the larger wildlife
corridor defined by Clear Creek. In terms of vegetation, remnant examples of naturally occurring riparian
communitIes include the plains cottonwood/chokecherry riparian woodland type and the plaIlls
cottonwood/western snowberry riparian woodland type. In addition to Important vegetation communities, the
Wheat Ridge Greenbelt provides important habitat for a number of wildlife species such as great blue heron, red-
tailed hawk, red fox, grassland songbIrds, and various migratory waterfowl. The project area does not contam
any designated critIcal habitat.
A number of environmental education opportunities exist at the several trailheads serving this section of trail.
Kiosks and brochure boxes at these centers prOVIde a means to distribute and proVide environmental education.
New SignS, an element of the proJect, will include environmental education information.

RESPONSE
YOUTH AND VOLUNTEER COMMITMENT:
Volunteers and youth programmmg are not appropriate to this specific phase of the project due to the heavy
construction elements of the trail replacement. Volunteers and youth groups are frequently used for noxious
weed and revegetation projects in conjunction with trail maintenance. This type of youth and volunteer
commitment is antiCIpated in years to come along the newly constructed portion of trail.
PARTNERSHIPS:
Jefferson County Open Space is a project partner and Will be asked to contribute approximately $150,000 to this
project through the agency joint venture grant. The agency has contributed $150,000 in both 2003 and 2004.

Creek Regional Greenway.
I am a citizen of the city of Wheatridge and I am an avid bicycle rider and walker.
My wife and I live near the Clear Creek Greenway and use this beautiful trail a lot.
I wish you and the state trail committee the best of luck with your selection
process.

Dear SelectIOn Committee,
The Wheat Ridge Greenbelt, home to the Clear Creek Trail IS adjacent to Eventt Middle
School in Wheat Ridge Many of the students that attend Everitt use the trail as a route to
school, both in the mornings and the afternoons
These students either travel on foot, in-line skates, skateboards or bicycles. The clear
Creek trail provides a safe route for these students The alternative route would be to use
the side streets or major streets, The only route available to travel north from the school is
Kipling, a deSignated state highway The clear Creek trail is invaluable in allowing these
youth a safer route
I support the reconstruction of the Clear Creek Trail, as it is not only a functional trail to
get to and from school but a wonderful amenity in the City of Wheat Ridge,

RE, City of Wheat Ridge Recreation Trails Grant
Clear Creek Trail Replacement Phase III
Dear Selection Committee,
The Wheat Ridge Greenbelt is a unique open space area located in an urban environment.
The Clear Creek Trail runs perpendicular to Clear Creek the length of Wheat Ridge. It is
part of the Front Range trail system and is a connector trail in this system
Many areas of the current trail are in need of repair. There are areas of the asphalt that
are crumbling and cracked. The trail in most of the areas designated for repaIr is a
maximum of 8 feet and often times even narrower than the eight feet. The trail
accommodates many users and Width is not adequate to allow bikers and walkers to
safely use the trail at the same time. Phase III of the project is located west of Kipling St.
in a very popular area of the greenbelt.
I personally enjoy using the trails and have been a nearby resident for over 25 years. The
recently completed project of trml replacement from Kiplmg to Wadsworth is has been a
great improvement and a significant upgrade.
I am thankful that the open space area and the trail are there for our community to enjoy.
I certainly recommend thiS project as a worthwhile one that will benefit many of the City
of Wheat Ridge residents as well as the outlying communities.
Sincerely,

Dear Selection Committee,
Wheat Ridge Cyclery has been part of the Wheat Ridge business COtDmunity for over 30
years. We are proud to be located in a community that val\.).e& the importance of the Clear
Creek Trail and providing the unique greenbelt and open space area ~ Wheat Ridge.
The current trail is unsafe for multi-use. The width and surface of the ~ail create a safety
hazard for pedestrians .ann bicyclists alike. The cracked and uneven W-~s make it very
difficult to enjoy riding on the trail.
I certainly suppofl:this gtarttapplication for funding to improve the Clear Creek Trail. It
will be a great improvement to the amenity in the greenbelt.

To Whom It May Concern,
SkiMeisters is an active group of "over-55's", with 400 members all across the
Denver Metro Area. We enjoy skiing, biking, hiking and tennis together
Our group often bikes along the Clear Creek trail located in the Wheat Ridge
Greenbelt. We feel that the improvements made to the trail in 2003 and 2004
have made the area even more attractive for recreation, with the path widened
and leveled, and made smoother and safer for our club and the many others who
enjoy it.
We would like to encourage further improvements to the Clear Creek Trail in
2005, The Denver area is becoming a truly unique system of safe and pleasant
bicycle and walking paths. thanks to continued attention to their upkeep,

signed grant agreement.
ACTUAL PROJECT BUDGET (#2). The budget should identIfy the actual costs of the project versus
what was approved. Use the same budget categories as in the approved budget. We do not expect the

ineligible items include: admimstrative or travel expenses, non-fixed assets (purchase of tools or
eqUIpment), and design, architectural and engineering fees (50% of the total design/engineering cost is
allowed)
