On behalf of the Avon Town Council, who approved this letter, at our August 8, 2017, regular meeting,
we wish to share our support for the proposed trail connecting the EagleVail community's trail system
to Meadow Mountain. It is our understanding the EagleVail Trail Extension Project significantly
accomplishes connecting front doors to Forest Service Trails, and that it will be used as a convenient
connection for users choosing to link hikes, runs and bike rides with other trails, including Meadow
Mountain, Cougar Ridge and Whiskey Creek, when it is reopened. A user can connect into Avon's
nearby West Avon Preserve Trails, particularly the Avon Singletree Connector Trail, by adding a little
road travel into a ride or hike.
We applaud the grass roots volunteer efforts, which are promised to this trail extension and the
cooperation of the Forest Service. The creation of the EagleVail Trail Extension will model a significant
citizen and government partnership that creates a linked trail system that citizens and visitors will enjoy.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration in approving this trail connection.
S' cerely,
- OQ��
