RIVER TRAIL: La Plata County commissioners Tuesday approved a $100,000 supplement to the 2007 budget for a 2.3 mile extension of the Animas River Trail to Three Springs development. The supplemental funds will be added to a multi-agency effort to ented the trail from the point where it currently ends at River Road near Home Depot.
The SMART 160 Trail is a collaborative effort among Trails 2000, the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Bureau of Land Management and the governments of La Plata County and the City of Durango. SMART is an acronym for safe, multi-modal, aesthetic regional transportation.
The expansion work is estimated to cost just less than $2 million. Laurie Blanz, Region 5 Planner for CDOT, said that if the federal funding comes by June or July as expected, construction of the 2.3 mile trail extension should be completed by September 2008.
