The City of Colorado Springs has completed a series of upgrades to the Sinton Trail, specifically between Holland Park Boulevard and North Chestnut Street. The improvements, managed by the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, focused on enhancing safety and accessibility for all trail users.
The recent project involved replacing deteriorating asphalt with a more durable concrete surface. This change is expected to improve comfort and extend the life of this section of the trail. In addition to resurfacing, grading and drainage improvements were made to address ongoing maintenance issues and support year-round usability. An abandoned overhead water line that had previously created steep grades and posed safety risks was also removed as part of the effort.
Emily Duncan, Trails Development Coordinator for the City of Colorado Springs, stated: “The Sinton Trail is an important recreational and transportation connection for this part of the city, and these improvements were designed with long-term durability and accessibility in mind. We’re pleased to reopen this section and provide trail users with a safer, smoother experience they can enjoy for years to come.”
Funding for these upgrades came from Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA II), which is supported by regional voters.
