Vail Village and Lionshead Village Construction
Information Handout
Problem Statement
The Vail Village and Lionshead Village are invaluable assets to the community. Thousands of people
come to Vail each year to sightsee, shop and to enjoy all of the recreational activities the Vail Valley has
to offer. The community and merchants rely upon our guests to generate revenue. Our summer/winter
guests expect a pleasant experience while in Vail.
To ensure all of the proposed construction has as little negative impact on the community and on our
guests as possible, the Town of Vail finds it imperative to create and implement the Vail Village and
Lionshead Village Construction Information Handout.
It’s essential for the Town of Vail, the construction contractors and the merchants to participate and work
together to minimize the impact of construction in the Vail and Lionshead Village areas.
Givens
The following givens are intended to provide the basic foundation by which construction will be managed
in the villages:

maintained.

Department.
