Corral Bluffs 2

A stakeholder in Corral Bluffs asks Tim Wolken why his horse won't be allowed, along with hikers, bikers, ATVs or quads.

The El Paso Commissioners has proposed Corral Bluffs as a enduro motorcycle raceway. Corral Bluffs Alliance needs your help to prevent this environmentally, archeologically, and historically important piece of Colorado from turning into a dirt bike race track. The area is home to many Native American artifacts, Petrified Wood, and fossils from alligators, turtles, and the first mammals.

The El Paso County Park Department plans to purchase 522 acres near Colorado Springs to create a 900 acre OHV park. It would damage beautiful, unspoiled land with a minimum of 20 miles of trails for motocross, trials, and long-distance endurance races, as specified in the grant proposal. These aren't just a family out for a weekend enjoying the scenery on their motorbikes, they are racing events.

Please help us in opposing the proposed El Paso County Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Park at Corral Bluffs. To pay for this, they have applied for a grant of $320,000 from the Colorado State Trails Grant Program. An additional $275,000 would come from the fees housing developers pay for the creation of regional parks and another $275,000 would come from Colorado lottery proceeds.

The county has tentatively set 3 planning meetings for April 1, 15 and 29, all at 7 p.m., on the third floor of the county office building at 27 E. Vermijo Ave, in Colorado Springs. This was the second and was held at Falcon HS.
