BACKGROUND
An application for a grant to fund the “City of Pueblo River Trail
Revitalization/Construction Project Phase II” from the State of Colorado, Department of
Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Wildlife was submitted in November 2012 and
a notification of award was received April 2013. The project will include repairing two
portions of the Pueblo Trail system along Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River,
totaling approximately 2,350 linear feet. The trail will be constructed with an 8’-10’ wide
concrete trail (width varies depending on space). The Parks and Recreation Department
does not have the resources to repair these two portions of the trail without this grant.
The areas have additional deterioration due to the recent rains. If these trail segments
are not replaced soon then those areas will need to be closed to public use.

Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Wildlife Grant
