The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and The South Central Council of Governments (SCCOG) are conducting a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study of the Southern Mountain Loop (SML) of the Colorado Front Range Trail and are seeking public input.

The goal of the 18-month study is to identify options for transportation improvements along the 82 miles of the Colorado Scenic Highway of Legends Byway between Walsenburg and Trinidad (US 160 and CO 12). The result will be a comprehensive investment plan integrating highway safety with bicycle/recreational trail, cultural/heritage, and nature-based tourism infrastructure improvements along the corridor to serve visitors and all users, and as a catalyst for economic vitality in the region.

The public may sign up to receive project information and public meeting notices by sending an email to SouthernMountainLoop@gmail.com or by calling 719-427-1078. For more information about the study, visit https://www.colorado.gov/sccog
