Construction Underway on NEAT Village TrailConstruction is now underway on the NEAT Village Trail, from Broadmoor Drive into the Bergen Village commercial zone. Work began on schedule on Monday July 25, 2011. Work will include trail installation, curb & gutter enhancements, stormwater management and drainage improvements along Bergen Parkway. Completion of trail construction is estimated in late October. Thank you, neighbors, for your patience during construction. And thank you, Jefferson County, for funding, designing and building this central piece of the NEAT Trail!

| NEAT forms Community Partnership for Bikes Belong Grant In late August 2011, Evergreen Park & Rec District, FIrstBank - Evergreen, Team Evergreen, and Bicycle Outfitters joined NEAT to submit for a Community Partnership Grant from Bikes Belong, a national bicycle advocacy group headquartered in Boulder. We will hear our results by late November. NEAT is grateful to our Community Partners for their role in promoting bicycling in Evergreen and helping complete the NEAT Valley Trail.

NEAT Continues to Form Partnerships to Fund the Last Piece of the NEAT TrailThis Fall, NEAT will continue to work with its partners, including Jefferson County and Evergreen Park & Rec District, to submit new grant applications for funding the last piece of the NEAT Trail. Known as the NEAT Valley Trail, this 0.6-mile trail section will connect to the rest of the NEAT Trail at Bergen Village, and move up Sugarbush Drive to Bergen Valley Elementary. Parent and student surveys conducted at Bergen Valley Elementary in 2010 demonstrated the pressing need and desire to complete this last piece and missing link of the NEAT Trail.
