Aspen has really failed with the vision of providing a continuous paved multi-purpose path from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Counties, municipalities and RFTA have contrbuted hundreds of thousands of dollars to make this vision a reality but the effort has been stymied because there is a vocal minority that wants to maintain the "wilderness character" of the corridor. With power lines and screaming airplanes this is the last place one should seek a rural experience. This is a recreational corridor, once a locomotive train route. The section between Jaffee and Stein Park should be paved with a soft surface trail alongside where width permits. Guard rails should not be utilized as this opens a can of worms to put them everywhere along the corridor where the down slope presents any kind of legal hazard.

There are numerous cycling user groups that will benefit from a paving of the Rio Grande between Jaffe Park and Stein Park.

Regrade and resurface the portion of trail/road from Stein Bridge to the Rio Grande. It is currently unmanageable and dangerous from an intermediate cyclist or nordic skier standpoint
