The Town of Firestone has approved a reimbursement agreement between the Town of Firestone and Barefoot LLC (the developer of Barefoot Lakes) to fund the design and eventual construction of a pedestrian bridge over St. Vrain Creek, just south of the Barefoot Lakes development.
For many years, Firestone residents, especially those in Barefoot Lakes, have asked about a safe way to cross St. Vrain Creek to access the commercial areas near Firestone Boulevard and to safely reach the trail network at St. Vrain State Park.
“The Town of Firestone appreciates Barefoot Lakes LLC for its ongoing partnership and focus on safety and amenities for their residents and the Town as a whole,” said Town Manager A.J. Krieger. “This significant infrastructure investment would not be feasible without the continued collaboration with the Town of Firestone. This highly anticipated amenity will only further enhance the connectivity of the Barefoot Lake community and expand the trail network for all Firestone residents.”
In 2024, the Town completed a bridge feasibility study that resulted in a conceptual design for the proposed bridge. Barefoot Lakes LLC will provide up to $500,000 for full design and up to $3 million for the construction of this bridge. Full bridge design and construction are expected to start in 2026
The designer and contractor have not yet been selected.
