Westminster Hills Open Space Project

Work commenced in August 2023 and is anticipated to be complete in May of 2024.

The Westminster Hills Open Space Multi Model Improvements Project provides roughly one mile of a 12-foot-wide multipurpose trail to make a connection between Simms Street and Alkire Street. In addition to this connection, crews added wayfinding signage, fencing, and drainage improvements.

Improvements along 100th Avenue have been requested by residents over the years as a safety improvement, especially bicyclists.

This project is being funded by $1,400,000 dollars in federal funds received in 2021. This is anticipated to cover roughly 95% of the project cost. 

The improvements associated with this project include:

  • Roughly 1 mile of multipurpose 12’ concrete trail
  • Wayfinding signage
  • Drainage improvements
  • Fencing Improvements

Trail Closure- Wadsworth Parkway and Big Dry Creek

PRL Open Space staff has identified that the Big Dry Creek tunnel underpass at Wadsworth Parkway needs to be closed due to standing water in the tunnel.  Currently there is about 3” of standing water in the tunnel making it unsafe for trail users along with the potential for icy conditions.  A pump that is designed to remove water from the tunnel has failed and will need to be repaired.  Signage has been posted on both sides of the tunnel notifying the public of the closure. Trail users can detour around the tunnel by going north to 100 Ave. or south to Independence Street. We will notify the public once the repairs have been made and the tunnel has been reopened.
