The bridge on highway 67 just north of Valley View has been targeted for replacement, which is due to start in mid September and take up to two months to complete.  The pedestrian trail on the east side of the highway will remain open throughout.  A bridge on eastbound hwy 24 just east of Cascade will also be replaced starting around the same time (but much quicker, being completed in around 14 days).  The bridge on 24 in Florissant will be worse, shutting down highway 24 entirely (traffic to be detoured down Twin Rocks Road).  Expect delays in these areas.  For more info, see here.

The dream of a ski resort on Pikes Peak has been around, well, forever.  A couple failed attempts have come and gone on the east side of the mountain, and the recent effort to build a resort on the west side seemed to have faded away as well.  Turns out that's not the case, that west side effort has reenergized and seems to be gaining momentum.  They're turning to social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter to help build public support (click those links to get to their specific pages).  Not sure of the water and road details yet, but it'll be interesting to see if they can pull this off and get this resort built.  More at SkiPikesPeak.
