Update December 9, 2014: Two additional Community Meetings have been added to the schedule. Both meetings are 5:30 to 7:00 pm.

• Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015 at Sabin Middle School
• Thursday, Jan. 15, 2015 at the Stetson Hills Police Substation

If you can attend, check out the trail projects on the city’s list of “high priority projects.” The list includes sections of the Palmer- Mesa Trail, Homestead Trail, Shooks Run Trail and Rock Island Trail. We encourage residents to come to the meetings with your questions and concerns, and speak up for the importance of our City Parks.
Our parks need you to speak up! Please come to one of six Community Meetings hosted by Mayor Bach between Nov 12 and Dec 4, and let the Mayor know that parks are a priority and as important as fixing potholes–they are necessary for our quality of life, and are an economic driver for the region.
Mayor Steve Bach will host a series of six Community Meetings to discuss with residents the highest priority, backlogged capital improvement projects in their neighborhoods for streets, public safety and parks. We encourage residents to come to the meetings with your questions and concerns, and speak up for the importance of our City Parks. Information about the proposed City Parks budget, and our concerns, are addressed in a previous article, linked here.
Information about the six Community Meetings and a list of high-priority backlogged capital improvement projects for streets, parks and public safety will be posted on the City’s web site, ColoradoSprings.gov.
