Update: Broadmoor Land Exchange.
|
The Trails and Open Space Coalition is talking to policy makers and parks officials to advocate for a more inclusive public process for the Land Exchange Proposal, listening to and talking with all citizens, adding more public meetings to the schedule, and being more deliberate in the decision making process. We want everyone to be heard, and to be able to consider the facts of the proposal fully. TOSC has not taken a position on the Broadmoor Land Exchange. The process is still unfolding, and we continue to get more information with time.
This is too important to rush through. We want to get it right.

Announced at El Paso County Parks Board: the Air Force Academy has agreed to open the closed section of the Santa Fe Trail in late spring or early summer.
El Paso County confirms, there are roughly two dozen trail locations on Air Force Academy property that were damaged in the 2015 floods. No repairs have been done because of the FEMA process required to get federal aid. The County has done some minor trail smoothing.
The plan is to open the trail as soon as AFA allows and immediately begin repairs. There is a low water crossing that will initially remain closed because repairs require heavy equipment and environmental permits.
