Poudre River Trail Committee
Dear Mr. Chairman and Poudre River Trail Committee :
This letter is to relay to you some recent developments involving a problem
section of your proposed trail, Section 14 . The challenge was offered by
Trail committee members for us, the concerned landowners; to find an alternate
route in this area. The 4th Street option presented last year seemed so
timely after the recent death of a child on 59th Avenue and 4th Street . The
community is crying out for a bike path through this corridor. However,
discussion with landowners/developers Martin Lind and Ryan Duran are such
that the Poudre River Trail can now gain access to the river. From its
location on F Street and 59th Avenue, the trail can wind to the river through
Mr. Lind' s development and course along the river on Mr. Duran' s property as
he sees fit . It can then hook up on 71st Avenue to Mr. Orr' s new
development, Poudre River Ranch. This provides a number of benefits to you :
* More scenic .
* Less tortuous and dangerous for cyclists .
* More river front footage .
* Less traffic congestion at 71st Avenue/5th Street .
* Less anti-trail sentiment by involved landowners (see previous
petition) .
* Avoid retaining wall costs along the bluff .
* Avoid the trail ' s awkward proximity to Mr. Silva' s house .
The County may then permanently close right-of-way of the abandoned road
under current consideration.
Such a minor revision for a major positive impact is truly exciting. This
certainly may be an impetus for your fundraising efforts .
Sincere y ubr tted,
Susan D. Cart . � .
