🚶‍♀️ New Underpass for Walkers, Cyclists, & More

Pikes Peak Greenway Trail users can now enjoy a new pedestrian ramp and underpass at Monument Creek Park near Mesa Road Bridge. Colorado Springs Utilities and the Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services department worked together to add paved trails and creek stabilization measures to prevent erosion along this popular trail.

With retention walls and improved creek beds, the area now offers better accessibility for cyclists, runners, and walkers, all while securing nearby water lines from future damage. This project’s enhancements ensure safer and more enjoyable outings for the trail’s large summer crowd, averaging over 1,000 visitors daily. 

🔌 Was Your Power Out Yesterday? Here’s the Scoop

A construction incident yesterday on N 19th and Dale St left over 3,800 residents without power. Emergency crews quickly isolated the site, reducing the outage to about 1,700 customers and managing the rescue of the boom operator involved who hit the power pole and was taken to the hospital for evaluation. All customers were restored by early afternoon.

🌟 Free Activities All November at New Silver Key Clubhouse

Starting TODAY, the NEW Silver Key Clubhouse opens its doors at 1655 S Murray Blvd with a full month of free activities for older adults, from 9am-4pm, Mon-Fri. With an inviting lineup of group fitness classes, creative workshops, and social events, the Clubhouse is the perfect spot for those wanting to stay active and connected. This welcoming space offers a chance to explore new hobbies, build friendships, or just relax in a friendly environment.
