Our own Conifer Trails Team has been working diligently for 8 years to create a trail system throughout Conifer and connecting Conifer to Evergreen and Bailey so as to make it safer and more convenient for people to hike, bike, horseback ride, etc. This is welcome news!
Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday announced a plan to spend more than $100 million over the next four years to make Colorado "the best state for biking."
"Biking can be such a positive force, and I think being the best biking state is going to fuel economic growth and tourism. It's going to lead us toward a cleaner environment, and it's going to help us be the healthiest state in America," Hickenlooper said in Las Vegas at Interbike, the largest annual bike trade event in North America.
Hickenlooper is attempting to bring previously announced bike- and pedestrian-trail improvement projects into sharper focus to help influence a transportation policy that has not changed with Colorado's growing, younger population.
