For several years, the town of Vail has been ratcheting up its enforcement of bicyclists in Vail Village. However, with little measured success in addressing the problem at hand, it may be looking to take.
Crews from the town of Vail are preparing the Gore Valley Trail through Dowd Junction for opening next week. Work starts on Monday, April 15, with a targeted opening of 5 p.m. on Friday, April.
On July 17, 2023, John Chase, a 53-year-old attorney, was visiting Vail from Denver and aided in the river rescue of 80-year-old Joseph Radtke from Gore Creek. In December, Chase was one of 18 civilians.
The annual seasonal closure of the Gore Valley Recreation Trail through Dowd Junction will begin Monday, Nov. 13. The trail may close sooner, depending on weather conditions. The winter closure allows for seasonal wildlife migration.
The next few weeks will continue to feature traffic impacts in the Dowd Junction area due to construction on the roadway portion of the collaboration between Eagle River Water & Sanitation District and ECO Trails..
