Throughout 2022, the department worked with a Colorado School of Mines Capstone Program student team to conduct public engagement, assess the current state of the area around Tabor Lake, and design a potential trail around the lake. In 2023, the department was awarded project matching funding through Jefferson County Open Space's Trails Partnership Program to contract with an firm to engineer the trail design and subsequently with a construction firm to build the trail. The City has also allocated American Rescue Plan Act funds towards this public improvement project. The design and construction work are expected to take place from 2023-2024.
