The Public Works Department has started the grading work on city property along the west side of Rio Grande Ave in order to provide for some much needed future parking areas in the City.  The northerly parking area is being utilized presently for staging of materials by Gardner Excavating for the Phase 4 Sewer Upgrade Project.  Upon completion, some final grading will be required before opening.  The southerly lot still has rough grading to be performed, and a final layer of road base to be added before completion.

The plan is to have these parking areas be one way (entrance at the north, exit to the south at each), with diagonal parking along the westerly (hill) side, to utilize these spaces to the greatest extent possible.

These areas are to function as PARKING ONLY, and will *NOT be utilized for an OHV Trail, NOR a OHV Staging Area.*

Please reference the map to see the exact location of these parking areas.

Thanks in advance,

Attention Residents of Creede

Beginning September 28th, Gardner Excavating will begin work on Aspen Avenue regarding Phase 4 of the Sanitary Sewer Upgrade Project. They expect to finish upgrading the sewer line installations on Aspen Ave on approximately October 30th, however, this work/timeframe is highly weather dependent. Their work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. **Please note that no work is scheduled on Friday 10/2.**

Unfortunately, due to the nature of this work and the narrow road, this section of Aspen Ave will be closed to through traffic and parking. Attached is a map showing the road closure area, highlighted in orange. We ask residents to please plan ahead each day and move your vehicles prior to 7:00 am to below the work zone. (There is a wide spot on S. Aspen near house #209 for parking, along with a wide spot at the W.3rd and Capital intersection that can be utilized.) Gardner Excavating will ensure the road is open daily at 5:00 pm for vehicular traffic. The contractor has been instructed to ensure that any/all emergency vehicles to have access through the work zone, if/when necessary.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call 719-658-2276 ext. 4 or email the Public Works Director, Scott Johnson, at publicworks@creedetownhall.com.

We apologize for any potential inconvenience during this project, but thank you in advance for your anticipated support and cooperation in helping the City of Creede improve our Waste Water systems throughout the City.
