Meeting for neighbors who live in the “central” neighborhoods of the West TSA

The Community Collaborative Group (CCG)* is now actively considering a broad range of suggestions for improving the way in which Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) manages the so-called "West Trail Study Area" (West TSA), which are comprised of OSMP properties in the area north of Eldorado Springs, south of Linden, and west of Broadway / Colorado 93.

Under consideration are suggestions about expanding and/or restricting various types of recreational access with the goals of reducing adverse impacts from visitors on Open Space neighbors, improving the visitor experience while reducing user conflicts and providing physically and environmentally sustainable trail systems. Some of the issues being addressed include the rules under which dogs are allowed access to Open Space properties, the accessibility of the area to mountain bikes, and strategies for handling parking issues and social trails.

If you live west of Broadway/north of Table Mesa/south of Canyon you are considered to be a “neighbor” in the central region of the West TSA. The neighborhood representative for the central region is Shelley Dunbar and she will be hosting an open forum to gather neighbor input on the proposals that will be put forth in the upcoming CCG meetings. If you are interested in voicing your ideas for “on the ground” actions that you would like to see in the West TSA, please join Shelley Dunbar at this neighborhood meeting.

Where: Chautauqua Park “Rocky Mountain Climber’s Club” room (lower level of the Community House)
When: Monday July 19th at 6:30 PM

Please come prepared to share your specific, well-thought out solutions to issues you have as a “neighbor” of Open Space! If you are unable to attend this meeting, you can email your ideas directly to the neighborhood rep at shelley.westtsa@gmail.com.
