A brief overview of <br />recreation and wildlife is also presented in this report <br />Major Drainageway Planning South Platte River, Chatfield Dam to Baseline Road, Urban Drainage and <br />Flood Control District Phase B -Volume II, Recreation Plan. <br />Volume II (Recreation Plan) presented a plan for recreational and ecological development and restoration <br />within the same forty mile study reach. <br />In 2000, former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb's South Platte River Commission prepared the South Platte <br />River Corridor Long Range Management Framework. One of the guiding principles of this plan is quoted <br />below: <br />"In managing the South Platte River Corridor, Denver should strive to balance and integrate social <br />and natural functions and values of the River. The river should be managed to sustain a variety of <br />uses, including recreation, community events, and education, and to restore it in support of increased <br />species diversity and a continuous wildlife habitat corridor, with enhancing water quality, public <br />safety and flood mitigation as overriding priorities" <br />The Framework plan maps a path forward towards the long term protection and enhancement of the South <br />Platte River. <br />10
