Vasquez Creek Trail Improvements
Construction will begin on the Vasquez Creek Trail Improvement Project on May 12 and will take roughly three months to complete, depending on weather and other delays. The project starts with the section of trail behind the skate park at Hideaway Park and ends near Confluence Park.
The project is partially funded with a $79,055 grant received from Grand County's Open Lands, Rivers, and Trails (ORLT).

Fraser River Trail Pavement
The Fraser River Valley Trail from about .3 miles south of Roam Way to where the trail connects at Trademark Dr. will be closed to the public starting in May for roughly three weeks to complete a repaving project.
Originally constructed over a decade ago, the Fraser River Trail has experienced wear and tear due to weather, drainage issues, and natural use. Over time, this has created cracks, erosion, and other issues. This project will address these conditions and enhance the trail’s accessibility for all users. Additional sections of the trail, such as areas near Roam Ponds, will require additional engineering to fully repair and will be completed at a later date.
The project is partially funded with a $250,000 grant received from Grand County's Open Lands, Rivers, and Trails (ORLT). The grant will cover 38.5% of the total project costs
