<br />" <br /> <br />construction improvements and maintenance along all major drainageways in the Denver Metropolitan Area. <br /> <br />Therefore all designs along greenway corridors must meet UDFCD criteria Certain projects, such as trails, crossings, <br />and stream stabilization improvements, are eligible for construction fundmg assistance from the Drainage District. <br />Once completed in accordance with UDFCD requirements, the improvemetllS can be eligible for maimenance funding. <br />The Drainage district utilizes the greenway trails for drainageway maintenance activities such as debris removal, <br />vegetation management, and erosion repair. Thus the key benefits of multiple use of drainageways are <br /> <br />. floodplain preservation and management; <br /> <br />. active recreational facilities such as trails; <br /> <br />. passive recreational benefits such as open space and nature study; <br /> <br />. habitat and wetland preservation/enhancement; <br /> <br />. access for drainageway maintenance; <br /> <br />. shared maintenance tasks; and <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. shared funding of initial construction and maintenance. <br /> <br />Project Development Guidelines . <br />The South Suburban Park and Recreation District follows a comprehensive park/facilities and trails master <br /> <br />plan. This document, "A Guide for Growth," was authored by a group of citizens, guided by Park and Recreation <br /> <br />professionals in 1970. It created the "vision" of a park system that would provide quality services for a 57 square-mile <br />urbanizing area. <br />Numerous concepts, goals, definitions, fmancing scenarios and implementation strategies were established <br />by "A Guide for Growth." The community leaders and park/recreation citizen advocates passed several bond issues, <br />purchased or accepted land donations, implemented a public based planning process and then began construction of <br />the park and recreation system, <br />Public Involvement, Early in the planning/development process, while engineers and surveyors are obtaining critical <br />field data, park planners are contacting local public officials and interested citizens to organize Project Design Teams. <br />Neighborhoods which are adjacent to or within a close proximity to the proposed trail are contacted. Notices sent to <br />local newspapers or leners to homeowner associations are the best method of notification. On occasion, circulating <br />flyers to a targeted area may be necessary, however, other methods are preferred. <br /> <br />. <br />
