Clear walkwaysEPURA plans additional Riverwalk connection.The Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority (EPURA) is planning an additional section of Riverwalk in the west end of downtown. This project will connect with the Riverwalk at Riverspointe Downtown and extend along the Fall River and Wiest Drive to Moraine Avenue, with a pedestrian-friendly crossing of Moraine Avenue. Riverbank improvements will be a part of the project.Having had two good work sessions with the property owners and business owners in the immediate project area, EPURA would now like public input on this latest endeavor aimed at extending the continuous Riverwalk and related amenities throughout downtown.A public meeting will be held in the Town of Estes Park Board Room on Tuesday, Oct. 17, at 7 p.m. to present the preferred alternative plan and receive public comments on the proposal. Residents are asked to attend and give EPURA their thoughts on this proposal for continuing community improvement.
This is what was printed in the Trail. EPURA was never intended to provide sidewalks or trails, if anyone were to do that it should be the Department of Transportation, or another Town department. EPURA was formed to help businesses, and has been pointed out here time after time, it has morphed into a public works department. If it was ever to receive a legal challenge, surely they would lose on this one and the Town would by held liable for interfering with a non-Town entity. The problem now, and always, is that the Town and toady Will Smith run this thing as being owned by the town and the EPURA Board believes them. This is just another obscenity here in paradise. He loves to point out the trees that were planted after the flood-25 years ago!
Again, no real community building or planning. Never has been.
Some lame blogger keeps repeating that there are no solutions ever mentioned on this blog, at least in the comment section. Well pal, the Estesparkian has always given solutions, and the many comments have also had some very good suggestions. They are encouraged to continue. The particular ranting idiot is just so happy to quote the Town line which is- Do what we say. We don't need no stinking input. If you disagree, you are a bad seed.
