Poudre Trail Open Lincoln to Lemay, Caution Urged in Construction Zone

March 25, 2014 News Release

The City of Fort Collins Natural Areas and Parks Department have reopened the Poudre Trail between Lincoln Avenue and Lemay Street six weeks earlier than expected.

 

The trail was closed October 1 for the restoration of a 31-acre river buffer natural area. This property was transferred to the City as part of the Woodward Technology Center development, which will be under construction through 2015.

 

"We are very pleased that the team came together to make this happen," said Craig Foreman, director of City of Fort Collins Parks Planning.
