Highlights of EPURA Achievements

Dramatic streetscape improvements to Elkhorn Avenue including landscaping, decorative lighting, street furniture, decorative paving and improved vehicular and pedestrian circulation.

Development of the Riverwalk, which parallels East Elkhorn Avenue, and provides an attractive additional orientation for retail businesses toward a much used pedestrian circulation system.

Development of Riverside Plaza, a gathering space and focus of the Riverwalk, which also accommodates an additional pedestrian orientation of retail shops.

Some street realignment and general improvement in both vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the downtown area, including parking.

Development of the Conference Center, which attracts and accommodates a variety of groups to Estes Park, enhancing the economy in general and extending visitation and business activity into the shoulder seasons.

Purchase of the Knoll Property, an approximately 9 acre highly visible tract neat the center of Town, to ensure its appropriate use and preclude it being used for activities deemed undesirable by the community at large.

Development of Performance Park, an amphitheater/park used for community events during the summer season.  Performance Park is the western focus of the Riverwalk.

Construction to the south parking lot  to serve the new visitors center.

A variety of less dramatic, but equally worthwhile, endeavors including the bronze sculpture theme and creation of the Stanley Historic District.
