Executive Summary
The proposed trail improvement project includes construction of a new 10-foot wide .5 mile concrete trail to
replace a 20+ year dilapidated asphalt trail. The new trail will provide a vital contiguous trail to and from the
South Platte River Trail via east/west connections to Denver's West Harvard Gulch Trail. The existing trail does
not meet current trail standards and needs to be improved for user safety, accessibility and increased regional
trail connectivity.
The trail provides local and regional recreational, transportational, and fitness benefiting visitors and
residents. Located in an urban environment including residential and industrial communities, the trail and
adjacent green space provides an urban oasis for all trail users.
Significantly, this trail provides a northwest connection from the South Platte River Trail expanding trail access
and opportunities as well as funneling users to local and regional outdoor amenities .
This trail improvement project is ready to begin; matching funds including contingency funds are secured.

The Northwest Greenbelt Trail Connection project goal will replace a .5 mile twenty-plus year old 8-foot
wide dilapidated asphalt trail connection with a new 10-foot wide concrete trail (6 in. depth; 2640 LF).
An aged cracked and crumbling asphalt trail currently exists and needs to be replaced for user safety and
to provide a contiguous concrete trail connection. The 20+ year old trail has grass growing through,
large holes creating large puddles, uneven frail sections due to earth movement/wear and tear, and
pieces of rock/asphalt creating debris; all creating safety hazards for walkers, cyclists, runners, and
more.
The proposed 10-foot wide concrete trail will sustain the Colorado weather; enhance multi-use
opportur.mes; expand region c1i cruii conn;:ct1vity anti, increase the safety or al l users.
The current asphalt trail is situated in the middle of the continuous Harvard Gulch Northwest Trail and is
a priority project to provide a continuous concrete trail.
The Harvard Gulch Northwest Trail originates in the City of Denver at Federal Boulevard just north of
Colorado Heights University, and follows the Harvard Gulch alignment south where it enters the City of
Englewood at Zuni Street. The trail then continues on to Raritan Circle where it connects to the South
Platte River Trail once again in Denver.
Replacing the dilapidated asphalt with concrete will provide a contiguous 10-foot wide trail from the
South Platte River to Federal Boulevard. Additionally, the trail improvements will provide safe access to
the two active community playgrounds which are located directly adjacent to this trail corridor.
Improvements of the current trail link will benefit the adjacent community which includes diverse
density housing areas as well as industrial complexes reflecting a high number of employees and daily
commuters. The area is very urban and the greenbelt provides a respite for local and regional visitors.
Harvard Gulch, a continuous stream, runs adjacent to the trail providing water features year round.
Since Denver has installed a 10-foot wide trail section adjacent to the South Platte River Trail, it is a
priority for Englewood to continue this trail in the same standard to provide safe and accessibility trail
access.
Upon completion, Englewood will explore future opportunities to improve neighborhood and employee
access by installing directional signage, park amenities (picnic tables, benches, pull off pads), and street
crossing safety features including painting new crosswalks .

The City of Englewood's planning team will lead the construction and management of this project .
Englewood has a preferred vendor list of engineers/contractors that will be used as a reference.
Preferred providers have been chosen by Englewood's maintenance department based on the warranty,
durability of product, and long range support received in the past for construction projects.
This project aligns with the City of Englewood's strategy to provide a paved trail that connects the east
and west Denver trails through the Northwest Greenbelt area including developing the trail to meet
current standards including a 10-foot wide concrete surface.
Please review Part G for detailed maps, photos and plans. Englewood continues to own and manage
this project site as a greenbelt park that includes a recently renovated playground funded from an ACOS
grant. Details costs are outlined in Part E.
2. Describe the community/neighborhood and user groups the project will serve. Discuss the type
of users (children, adults, seniors, families, sports leagues, youth groups, etc.) the project will
serve and estimate the number of user groups annually that will benefit from the project. Be
specific. How did you arrive at this estimate? Describe the service area for this project (how far
will users travel to use the project site). If this is a Planning Grant, discuss the importance of the
:,hnn~""g effort t-0 the user grn• •rc; <1nrl, !0r~! community n°c;rril-:!,;:, h0•r 1 th"! pl~ri rn;:i~,
change/improve the community; project site; or your agency.
The current trail users include a wide range of ages, abilities and types including cyclists, runners,
joggers, walkers; passive and active users. We anticipate an increase in usership since the concrete
contiguous trail will increase recreational, transportational and fitness benefits.
Englewood encompasses an estimated 33,600 residents (20% under 18 yrs) and the community adjacent
to the trail includes approximately 360 households. If half of these households visited the park once a
week, we estimate over 10,000 annual visits potentially on the trail. The community members
(Arapahoe County residents) include families and children walking and cycling on the trail to access the
two community playgrounds.
Significantly, the Northwest Greenbelt Trail Connection will provide a vital link for South Platte River
Trail visitors who will need/want to travel to northwest area communities and amenities. Based on the
estimated 1 million+ annual visitors on the South Platte Trail, if only 5% accessed the Northwest
Greenbelt Trail Connection there could be the potential for an additional 50,000+ annual visitors.
Initially the trail usership will be low, yet as the trail becomes known usership will greatly increase. For
example, when the Big Dry Creek was completed, trail users weren't familiar with its route and
accessibility to other trails and community amenities. Now, several years later, this trail is used regularly
as a regional connection to and from the South Platte Trail and the High Line Canal. We anticipate a
similar trend for the Northwest Greenbelt Trail Connection .

Additional trail users include students and faculty from Colorado Heights University (500+), Denver
community members residing in the northwest suburbs, and employees from the adjacent
businesses/warehouses.
Englewood also has an aging population that will be encouraged to use the new trail to promote the
importance of staying physically active. Physical activity is key in maintaining independence and a high
quality of life as one ages. In general, people become less physically active as they get older; nearly 40%
of people over the age of 55 report no leisure-time physical activity. With an aging population,
Englewood's' priorities include providing physical activities to improve adult health and this community
trail will provide these opportunities.
3. Describe the planning process that identified this specific project as a priority. Is this project
listed as a priority in a master plan, site specific plan or other adopted planning document? If
so, discuss that plan. Describe the relationship of the project to any local, regional, state or
system-wide master plan. Give the name of each plan and list related element(s) within the
plan. Was this project identified through an independent community planning process?
Describe this process. Is this project a working group project? If so, was it prioritized? Is this
project a part of a larger project or phased project? If yes, explain the whole project, other
!'unmng sources and pa rtne r !> invu1vecJ.
The project site area is identified in the City of Englewood's Parks and Recreation 2006 Master Plan as
10.75 acres of open space with a paved trail running the length yet does not connect to the South Platte
River Trail. Since that plan, the City of Denver and the City of Englewood partnered to extend the trail
from Raritan Circle to the east connecting the South Platte River Trail. The Denver section was
constructed in 2012 as a 10-foot wide multi-use trail.
Completing the proposed trail improvements is a priority for multiple reasons. First, a 10-foot wide
contiguous trail throughout the Harvard Gulch greenbelt will enhance the safety and experience for all
trail users. Since there are all ages, abilities and types of users, a continuous concrete trail would
increase the safely of these visitors. Second, providing a multi-use trail connection to the South Platte
River Trail increases regional trail opportunities. These outdoor opportunities might include
transportation, recreation and/or fitness elements.
Trail Enhancements and non-motorized connections including the Northwest Greenbelt to the South
Platte River Trail connection were included in the 2006 Master Plan. Since then, this trail has
increasingly deteriorated and needs major improvements to increase the safety of all trail users. And,
since Denver has constructed a multi-use trail on both ends, Englewood needs to complete a similar trail
to maintain the quality of the entire trail to increase for safety and accessibility.
Additionally, the 2006 plan recommends completing gaps in and extending off-street urban trails and
key connections providing the backbone of alternative transportation opportunities within the city.
Again, this trail supports this goal yet the trail needs major improvements to provide safe alternative
transportation alternatives .

The City's Master Bicycle Plan illustrates regional trails as those that cross several municipal boundaries,
serve the greater Denver metropolitan area including Englewood, and are maintained by several
jurisdictional authorities. Both regional and local trails exist within the City of Englewood and have been
primarily developed along water and urban drainages areas. This project is one more example of how
this trail supports the long term community planning goals for regional trails and why it is so important
to complete the proposed improvements.
Lastly, according to the Master Plan, this greenbelt is classified as a Natural Area/Visual Green Space
which are park areas that break up the atmosphere of congestion in densely urban areas and provide a
space for compatible forms of quiet recreation. Their primary purpose is to enhance community
aesthetics and, as such, should be located in visually accessible areas. It is imperative to improve the
trail to continue to provide quality outdoor opportunities for urban living.
The City of Englewood has a long history of demonstrated partnerships constructing similar trail and
park projects. Several of these groups are willing to support the future development of the Northwest
Greenbelt trail. Through the planning and development phase of the proposed project, continued
efforts will be made to add additional partners and supporters such as the adjacent community groups
and businesses. All of these partners were very supportive with the initial asphalt trail project and the
City will reach out again to confirm community support.
The City will continue to take an active role and involve all partners, supporters and user groups in the
comprehensive design process. Interviewing stakeholders, user groups and neighbors will complete our
strategy and build collaboration in an effort to complete this project .
4. Discuss the need and urgency for this project and why it is a priority. What opportunities will be
lost if this project is not funded now?
Englewood is requesting funds to complete trail improvements by December 2017 so the trail will be
safe and accessible by Spring 2018. As visitors to the South Platte River Trail continue to increase, it is
important to complete improvements so regional trail users have additional links and connections;
dispersing users throughout the south metro region.
Based on the age (20+years) and the below standard condition of the trail, the proposed improvements
are a top priority for Englewood. Or goal is to continue to provide safe, accessible and positive
experiences for all trail visitors. This trail is literally crumbling and improvements are imperative to
increase the safety and accessibility for all users.
Since trail improvements can be completed simultaneously or one right after another, we anticipate cost
savings on design, engineering, and construction and potentially make the bids more competitive to
support our budget. Contingency funds have been secured for over runs.
During a challenging economy, partnering funds from the Arapahoe County Open Space Program will
enable the project to move forward. Without Arapahoe County support, the project could be placed on
hold indefinitely pending availability of funds. This will impact the neighboring communities by limiting
their recreational, outdoor, fitness and transportation needs.

Strong community and agency support exists. The City of Englewood has secured $91,500 in matching
funds (27% of total project). Construction is ready to begin pending grant award, yet if the project is
delayed, construction costs are likely to rise particularly as the economy strengthens. Our goal is to
begin construction in July 2017 and complete the project within six months.
Importantly, Englewood's Concrete Utility program will be used which will provide competitive costs and
potentially expedite specific project elements. This program does not involve bidding out so it is more
cost and time effective.
Recently, partnering with Arapahoe County Open Space, the City installed a new community playground
adjacent to this trail. It is important to continue investing funding and support into these low income
neighborhoods to maximize community resources.
Englewood is committed to providing continued maintenance and upgrading of open space and park
facilities supporting the increased usage and satisfaction levels of all residents and trail visitors.
5. Summarize any investments made prior to submitting a grant proposal. Discuss pre-submittal
meetings, dates and outcomes. Be detailed and include eligible pre-planning costs on the match
section of the Detailed Expense Budget Form in Part E. (See application instructions for details.)
i'rco t of pre-submiu::i: p lanning expenses must be suomitted as an at cacnment in Part G. (J.\I!
attachments should be clearly labeled on the Table of Contents and on the Part G cover page .)
There have been no pre-submittal meetings for this project. Since this project includes renovations of a
current trail, there are no pre-planning costs.
Trail construction and renovation are exempt from site plan review/approval within the City of
Englewood. A review of the Northwest Greenbelt Trail Connection will be scheduled for Englewood's
Development Review Team. The DRT is comprised of City staff from various City departments for the
purpose of reviewing projects that occur within the City and making recommendations based on
impacts to those departments and City Code Regulations.
6. Describe how this project will be completed within the two year grant timeframe. Project
timeline must begin within 60 days of the award notification. Is design and engineering
complete or is there still work to be done? List any permits that will need to be obtained for
implementation of the project and existing status of obtaining those permits. (Federal 404,
County or City Planning or Public Works, Storm Water Drainage, etc.). If permits are needed
now or in future phases, explain the process . If your project is a Planning Grant, does the
present zoning of the site permit the desired use for this project? If not, what changes will need
to be accomplished?
Preliminary trail design and cost estimates have been completed and this project is ready to begin
pending funding. Englewood City Council supports moving forward with this project by allocating ACOS
Shareback Funds for the project and passing a resolution in support of the grant. Upon successful award
of this grant, the trail renovation will be ready for construction immediately. Staff anticipates that
12

•
bidding, bid award and ground site preparation will take 3 months. Once bid selection has been
completed, trail construction is estimated to take less than 6 months pending weather.
During trail construction, Englewood and the awarded contractor will plan and implement safe detours
while keeping the trail open. We do not anticipate trail closures during construction and will provide
signage, safety barriers, and other tools to provide a safe trail experience.
7. Summarize any planning efforts to date. Discuss any efforts to obtain public input, disseminate
public information, develop partnerships, develop partnerships for cash finding or in-kind
contributions, and garner community support specifically related to this project. Evidence of a
transparent public process will be required. List stakeholders that will be asked for input.
Discuss any objections to this project and/or if you anticipate opposition in the future. Discuss
how you will handle opposition. Include any letters, petitions, news articles, or other
documents evidencing opposition.
This trail improvement project has not received any opposition from the community. Based on the
initial trail development (asphalt), we did not receive any opposition. The community and stakeholders
of the recently installed playground, funded by ACOS, was fully supported. The public input supported
inappropriate activity in the site area. We anticipate similar support for this trail project which is
directly adjacent to the playground .
The improvements project will increase paved trails and improve connection opportunities. A 10-foot
wide concrete surface will serve more user types, abilities and increase recreational, transportational,
and fitness opportunities. A roller blader will be safer and more comfortable on a concrete trail; cyclists
will be able to travel more contiguous miles; and, accessibility to the adjacent playgrounds will be
improved for all abili1ies.
Based on prior community survey results, there is a strong need for additional primary-level trails and
trail connections within the city. Currently, there is somewhat limited opportunity for residents to easily
and safely travel or commute throughout Englewood via alternative transportation, such as biking,
skating, or walking.
The South Platte River Trail offers an excellent north-south travel route and the Northwest Greenbelt
Trail Connection provides additional access. However, the existing asphalt trail does not provide a
contiguous surface throughout its length which can be a hindrance for certain type of users (blade rs,
cyclists).
The Englewood Bicycle Master Plan has identified multiple priorities to improve the overall
transportation network with respect to bikes and any opportunities to improve the system should be
pursued. Based on these priorities, the 50 foot section east of S. Zuni Street will be realigned to improve
the safety and connectivity to Denver's western trail section .

8. How much of your planned cash match is secured? How much still needs to be raised and what
are your plans for raising additional funds? What is your back up plan if you are unable to raise
those funds? Do you understand that all overruns are the responsibility of the
applicant/grantee? Describe the cash and in-kind partnerships established for this project. This
does not include partners who have contributed to previous phases or partners that plan to
contribute to future phases. Explain if partnerships were not possible or necessary for this
project. Include all partner support letters in Part G. Include match from all partners in the Part
E Budget. All support letters must be dated within the last six months to be eligible.
The cash match {$91,500) is fully secured for this project through ACOS Shareback Funds. This project
will not need to raise funds to secure the match. Englewood fully understands all overruns are the
responsibility of the City. At this time, partnerships were not identified as a need to complete this
project.
All of the costs reflected above have been reviewed by the planning team and project partners; the
costs identified represent extremely competitive costs for this type of project. Englewood has built in a
10% contingency for potential over runs. These additional funds are secured from Arapahoe County
Shareback Funds.
9. Briefly discuss support from entities and user groups that are supporting the project in other
ways than cash or in-kind contributions. Support letters should come from users, working
groups, user groups, community members, volunteers, schools, etc. A maximum of five (5)
community support letters should be attached in Part G. All letters should be dated within the
last six months.
To date, support for the trail renovations have been received from neighborhood residents, park and
trail users. The City of Englewood, property owner, fully supports this proposed project.
This project will support a wide range of users including parents walking their children to the new
playground; cyclists traveling to the South Platte River Trail and potentially continuing north towards
Denver or south towards Chatfield; neighborhood residents walking/running for fitness; and employees
from the adjacent industrial/office buildings walking or relaxing on the trail during their lunch break or
using the trail to get to and from work.
Community and partner support letters are attached in Part G.
10. Describe any scenic, historic or cultural values associated with this project. Will they be
preserved or restored? Describe specific natural resources at the site, including habitat and/or
water. List predominant wildlife species and vegetation on site. Discuss impacts to these
resources as a result of this project. For Planning Grants, discuss how your proposed project
incorporates plans for wildlife and environmental impacts and historical and cultural values of
the project site .
14
•
•
•
There are no historic values within the trail renovation project site. There are no native ecosystems
impacted by the trail renovation. The project site is located in an irrigated bluegrass greenbelt.
The trail renovation project will result in little or no impact to the natural resources in the area; no
mitigation is required. The Northwest Greenbelt Trail is part of the Harvard Gulch drainage basin. A
small stream runs through the greenbelt basin, fed mainly by hard surface runoff. Predominant wildlife
species include red fox squirrel, rabbit, skunk, raccoon, red fox, coyote and various bird species typical in
the urban/suburban setting.
11. Discuss the ownership and legal access to the proposed project site, including right of access
without trespassing on adjacent property. Detail any third-party rights, easements or other
encumbrances that exist. Provide supporting documentation proving ownership, legal access or
permission from landowner and a site map in Part G.
The City of Englewood owns the property designated for the proposed project. And, during
construction, the crews will not need to access any other land/property owner for right of way. All
construction access will be on the City of Englewood's property. The project site is maintained as open
space/park land.
Please view Part G for the site map.
12. Describe long-term maintenance of the project site and components. Estimate the annual costs
to maintain the site, how those numbers were calculated, how you intend to fund maintenance
and who is responsible for maintenance. Explain how maintaining this project site changes your
agency's maintenance budget. {Provide projected budget changes, detailed cost estimates, how
you plan to accommodate these changes, and explain how you arrived at those numbers.)
Provide a commitment letter from the management/maintenance agency addressing long-term
maintenance and include budgeting for funding maintenance in Part G. For Planning Grants,
discuss the ability and capacity of your agency to implement the final plan and manage long-
term maintenance for this project.
The City of Englewood will manage the long term, and complete maintenance of this trail project
including litter control, weed/grass mowing, and vandalism repairs. Since this project is for
improvements, the maintenance costs are reflected in the current City budget and this will not change.
The City currently budgets $2,154,802 for all park maintenance and approximately $23,598 is spent
maintaining the Northwest Greenbelt.
13. Describe how this project addresses (or plans to address) inclusivity per the Americans with
Disabilities Act guidelines.
The trail improvements include improving the multi-use trail to fully comply with current ADA
guidelines. The multi-use trail will be constructed as a 10-foot wide, concrete/hard surface and the curb
ramps will meet the ADA standards. Once the surveying has been completed, the grade will be assessed
and the trail will be designed to meet the required ADA grade.
15
•
•
•
14. If successful in obtaining this grant, how will the agency use this project to inform citizens about
the value of the Arapahoe County Open Space sales and use tax? Address the public outreach
plan, signage plan, celebration, dedication, etc. Please write a brief press release statement.
Explain how the County will be recognized and informed that materials, articles and ceremonies
have/are taking place. This information is required to include County acknowledgement and
should be relayed to the County Grants Program Administrator for review and filing. Planning
Grants do not require signage to be installed.
The City of Englewood will partner with Arapahoe County on all media releases, articles and stories
relevant to the Northwest Greenbelt Trail Connection improvements. The use of ACOS sales tax dollars
supporting the Northwest Greenbelt Trail Connection will also be included in the Englewood Herald
newspaper and additional local community publications. Information will also be disseminated via the
City's web site and in the Englewood Citizen newsletter, which the City distributes to all Englewood
households. An Arapahoe County Open Space sign will be installed on the trail upon project completion.
County Commissioners and OSTAB Board Members will be invited to tour upon request.
Through prior trail and park openings, ribbon cuttings, and volunteer events, Englewood has
demonstrated their support of ACOS programs to the community .

Dear Advisory Board,
On behalf of the City and County of Denver, we support the Northwest Greenbelt Trail Connection renovation
project proposed by the City of Englewood. This trail project, including a newly constructed half-mile concrete
trail, is much needed to replace the dilapidated asphalt trail that currently exists as part of the Harvard Gulch West
corridor between the College View/South Platte neighborhoods in Denver and the South Platte River Trail.
The City and County of Denver partnered with Englewood to complete Denver's trail section that is just east of

Platte River Trail towards the northwest. We strongly support this project which will enhance the trail
opportunities for all types of users and abilities .
The Northwest Greenbelt is part of the Harvard Gulch drainage basin and a small stream runs through the
greenbelt basin, fed mainly by hard surface runoff. We understand there will be no impact to this area from the
construction.
We hope the Arapahoe County Open Space Program will consider funding the Northwest Greenbelt Trail
Connection project in the City of Englewood. The project would significantly benefit the adjacent communities
and regional visitors for years to come.

Dear Advisory Board,
We love the local trails near our home! We are writing to let you know that we fully support the
proposed Northwest Trail Connection renovation Project. The future trail project, which we have heard
will include a reconstructed half-mile concrete trail, is much needed to replace the old dilapidated
asphalt trail that is currently there.
In fact, on the day that we met the surveyor and representative that were walking the trail, Jennifer had
taken a fall on her bike, and her arm was quite scraped up due to the rough, almost "gravel-like" surface
of that part of the trail. We have also noticed that it is difficult to pass if there is a family walking with a
stroller, or even other bicycle riders coming from the opposite direction.
We use the trail regularly (at least once a week) to ride, run, jog for fun and exercise, and we truly value
it. We would also really appreciate seeing more properly marked recycling and trash containers all along
the trail, as well as more regular efforts to keep the stream that runs through there clean of litter .
Additionally, the Northwest Greenbelt Trail Connection provides an important connection to the South
Platte River Trail, which provides more access to other parks as well as easy transportation via bike to the
downtown Denver area.
We hope the Arapahoe County Open Space Program will consider funding the Northwest Greenbelt Trail
Connection project in the City of Englewood. The project would significantly benefit our community and
trail visitors for years to come.
