Subject: Vail Valley Drive Sidewalk Connection at Vail Trails Chalet
I. SUMMARY
The Vail Trails Chalet Association (Vail Trails) has recently contacted the Town of Vail
Public Works Department about connecting a missing section of sidewalk along Vail
Valley Drive directly in front of the Vail Trails Chalet complex, located at 413 Gore
Creek Drive. This is a section of sidewalk that has been considered for construction on
numerous occasions in the past; however it has been met with controversy due to the
impact to private improvements and the Vail Trails pedestrian access to Units 1 and 2
which are within the Town’s Right of Way (ROW). These improvements and access
have existed since Vail Trails’ construction in 1963 before the Town was incorporated.
At this time, Vail Trails is supportive of the walk connection, and is willing to pay for the
restoration of their private improvements and access, as long as the Town of Vail pays
for the construction of the sidewalk. The impacted private improvements that are within
the Town’s ROW consist of stairs, pavers, landscaping, wood retaining walls, privacy
fence, and a parking space, each of which have been in place for over 50 years.
Vail Trails requests that they are able to maintain these same, yet reduced in area,
private improvements within the ROW at their own cost along with the elimination of the
one impacted parking space. These types of improvements, can be permitted within the
Town ROW as long as a Revocable ROW Permit is on file.
The Vail Trails is requesting that the existing fence be allowed to be reconstructed at
72” in height to maintain privacy for the entrances into Units 1 and 2. Town Council, as
owner of the Right of Way, is in support of this request and this project.
