The City has heard feedback from the public meetings in March and through engagement on Guiding Golden requesting we ensure the potential pathway from 8th Street to 10th Street would have minimal impact on the Community Garden and would be bicycle/pedestrian only. We have also heard that Pickleball and Tennis Courts within the Clear Creek Corridor are a priority for many members of the community. A location will be identified as a home for these popular recreation attractions along the corridor.
