Painted sidewalks stranger. Isolated in our little mountain paradise, went in on a Friday afternoon with minimal where the major urban problems of life are dog poop in disruption. And since Park Meadows is a classic front of the post office and major discount stores example of suburban sprawl, where nothing is within within a fifteen minute drive, breathing the thin air of walking distance of anything else anyway, painted the high country, life here always take on a little bit of sidewalks will serve the same purpose as real ones, at a the fairy tale aspect. In this case, the tale is the fraction of the cost. Emperor's New Clothes, or more accurately, Park Of course, in other neighborhoods with sidewalks, the Meadows' New Sidewalks. adjoining land owner is responsible for shoveling the In response to the great public outcry about the snow from the sidewalks.

Now keep in mind that Probably about a month after the election, the traffic problems in Park Meadows are visible to The County likes the idea, too. On the walls of K-only K-only a select and enlightened few. To the rest of us, Mart, they could paint a huge mural of what drivers Park Meadows looks like the very model of suburban would see from Highway 224 if K-Mart weren't there, bliss. But for those who live there, life is tough, harsh Struggling local artists could bid for the rights to and cruel. Traffic safety is a major concern. seasonally re-paint the mural so we did not look at So the City Council has painted sidewalks along some green grass and cows in February, or a blank white wall of the streets in Park Meadows. in July. We could get creative, and have a view of the Anybody who ever watched "WKRP in Cincinnati" Grand Tetons some seasons, and the ocean others, all understands the concept. Newsman Les Nesmin had one the while masking K-Mart's ugly building, of those bank-lobby type desks instead of an office.

Of course, since the total cost of the wall for the winter, which should reduce the time sidewalk was the cost of the paint stripe, width was spent in line by several hours. They can also paint a not a big issue. But why are the painted sidewalks in tourist trying to pay for groceries with a check payable Park Meadows wider than the real sidewalks on Main in an exotic foreign currency. That will discourage Street? You got me. Maybe next they will paint some anybody else from getting in the painted check-stand pedestrians on the painted sidewalks. line, but still create the illusion of expanded service. At first blush, this seems like a really stupid idea, The developers of the Town Lift project have also even coming a couple of weeks before the election.

Maybe we can paint some affordable housing someplace, too. something. Painting sidewalks may be the wave of the future around here. There are a lot of problems in town that are just as serious as the sidewalk crisis in Park Meadows, and probably just as easily cured. Real sidewalks would have taken all summer to build, and hum SmiffiiiEimSit ttco Smnmniimiiit Students plant 4,000 trees near Aspen the aspen times Luckily the weather held the past two weeks so school students could plant 4,000 Engelman spruce and sub-alpine sub-alpine fir seedlings near the top of Independence Pass near Aspen. The planting was done by a group of Aspen High School EARTH (Environmental Activists Reaching Toward Harmony) members, under the direction of Sloan Shoemaker, field director for the Environmental Research Group. The seedlings were purchased by the Independence Pass Foundation with funds raised by Jazz Aspen and donated through the American Forestry Association's Global Releaf. The site for the tree plantation is near the top of Independence Pass on the slope below the last stretch of road as it cuts across the steep mountainside. Historically, the slope has been forested. However, over the years most of the slope has been deforested and is actively eroding. Rocks from the road cut and avalanches from spring snow removal on the highway have taken a toll on the road. The seedling trees have been planted on a portion of the slope that is protected from falling debris. The planting of the 4,000 trees is the first step in restoring the mountainside to its original condition. The new planting will serve as a test pilot for future reforestation on a grander scale. Just across the valley, the mountainside above the Independence ghost town has responded successfully to a large-scale large-scale tree planting. Miners cut trees to use for housing and mine timbers during the 1880s and 1890s. The forest that can now be seen on the slope was planted in the 1950s by the Colorado Women's Federation. The success of this project proves that reforestation at such a high altitude is possible. During the recent planting, students used a new product called Isolite. The material is a small and highly porous beadlike piece of ceramic that will hold water like a reservoir near the roots of the seedlings. The Isolite should help give the fragile seedlings a good start. An area was planted without Isolite to act as a control. The healing and reforestation of Independence Pass is a major project of the Environmental Research Group, headed by Bob Lewis. THF Review-Herald Mammoth survey is pro moratorium Written responses to a Mammoth County Water District Survey show there is a great deal of support for a building moratorium in Mammoth Lakes, and quite a bit of outright hostility over the Snowcreck Golf Course's ability to water during this fifth straight year of drought in the High Sierra. The MCWD received survey responses from 592 Mammoth Lakes residents and second homeowners. Early survey results showed that most people in Mammoth Lakes felt the golf course should be a low priority for water use, and that water for fish habitat, residential landscaping and playing fields should be a higher priority. Those trends continued in the results of the final survey. Included with the survey results were a number of comments-some of them strongly wordcdon how the district should be managing the town's water. These comments showed that the golf course indeed is a public relations albatross hanging around the neck of the MCWD. One of the most consistent and emotional complaints the MCWD heard throughout Mammoth's long, dry summer centered on the golf course's ability to water while residents are forced to cut back their outdoor watering. m THE TRAIL Shifting gears in Vail The gears of government move considerably slower than the latest bicycle index shifters. That's why a valley-wide bike path might be a long time coming. One day, maybe, cyclists will realize their long-time dream of a bike path between Summit County, Colo., and Grand Junction. But it will take money, political will, and time. Especially time. Especially in Eagle County. Cyclists leaving Summit County's network of dedicated paths find pretty easy going from the top of Vail Pass down into Vail, where they find another network of paths. Vail is where the going gets more money or vagabond cyclists, though. In spots, cyclists share frontage roads with all manner of motorized vehicles. Farther west, the going gets considerably weirder for those trying to connect with Highway 6 at Dowd Junction. Cyclists headed down valley to connect with the valley-long two-lane road must first brave a two-mile section of Interstate 70, where only a painted line separates them from speeding cars and trucks. With the number of cyclists riding in and through Eagle County increasing evey year, the need for a more bicycle-friendly environment also rises. But a bike plan |
