Trail Connectivity and Tree Certificate Program


Dear Erie Neighbors,

Want to go for a bike ride, run or stroll? Now you can on over 25 miles of connected trails!
The newly completed section of the Coal Creek Regional Trail, which opened officially on Wednesday, adds 4 miles of multi-use trail that extends from the end point of Rock Creek Regional Trail near Majestic Drive in Lafayette to Erie’s Spine Trail near Vista Parkway. The entire Coal Creek and Rock Creek trail system has over 25 miles connecting the communities of Boulder, Superior, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie and Broomfield.  

Boulder County worked with the Town of Erie, City of Lafayette, the Boulder County Parks and Open Space Foundation and Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) to secure funding to complete the eastern most link of the Coal Creek/Rock Creek Regional Trail System. GOCO awarded a $500,000 grant through its special opportunities program which allows for larger grant awards for larger scale projects.

Fall is a perfect time to plant trees.  If you are planning to add one or more in your yard, consider the Town of Erie's Tree Incentive Program to help with the cost.  To learn more about how to get a certificate, please click here.

Have a great start to the school year, and enjoy Autumn,

Janice
