Pueblo West Safe Routes to School Improvements
Printer-friendly versionProject description and location
Pueblo West Metro District applied for a CDOT Safe Routes to School grant in 2016 and were unsuccessful in that request, having successfully obtain SRTS grants in previous funding cycles. The proposed improvements in the 2016 request are to construct a trail along S. McCulloch Boulevard between Hahns Peak Ave. and Joe Martinez Blvd, then head easterly along the north side of Joe Martinez Blvd. to Civic Center Drive. This trail improvement would create access from Swallows Charter Academy, the Pueblo West Library, Civic Center Park and local businesses, and eliminate a hazardous condition surrounding the school currently.
