We have heard the concerns that you all have about the main bridge in town so we reached out to CDOT to get some additional information. The last inspection was done in March, 2024. However, due to the amount of bridges that they oversee (nearly 3,500), the report hasn't been filed yet. We will share that report with you all once it is published. The most recent inspection filed was from 4/6/22. This inspection stated that the bridge was considered in "Fair" condition which is middle of the road for bridge ratings. It means the 2022 inspection saw some potholes, chipping, and other minor deficiencies but overall the bridge was rated as a functional asset. Here is a link to their web page that speaks on the bridge program. https://www.codot.gov/programs/bridge/bridge-structure-inspection We have also included some Questions and Answers from CDOT with some information on how they inspect bridges, how often, and what the rating scale is. It is included in the graphic below, or you can click on this link: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:b86e38a2-47ab-4575-aecb-027a268ff3c3 Our hope is that this will help educate everyone on the process and the safety measures that CDOT follows, not just here in Parachute, but across the state. Thank you! #CDOT #bridges #safety #inspection #structure #townofparachute

No, the smoke you were seeing was not just residual from the fireworks. A 1/4-1/2 acre fire started as the result of the fireworks display. Thankfully, officers and firefighters were able to knock it down fairly quickly. We are thankful for everyone coming out today and glad everyone is safe. #fireworks #brushfire #firefighter #backtheblue #holidaysingrandvalley #parachutepopo #townofparachute

The Parachute-Battlement Mesa Parks and Recreation District (PBMPRD) has done an incredible job since 2016 stabilizing and maintaining all of its assets. Now, they are looking to the future to maximize the use and function of existing facilities to better serve the growing and changing community. To date, the PBMPRD team has engaged the public and stakeholders through focus groups, pop-up events, and an online survey in addition to conducting analysis work of the facilities, properties, operations, and recreational programming. The sites covered by this survey include: Cottonwood Park Grand Valley Recreation Center Skate and Dog park Western Town Community Park We ask that you take a few minutes to complete the Master Plan Survey: https://designworkshop.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8Ii6Lo5MYrn9qya?fbclid=IwY2xjawHG4XNleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHWUWuEcY9HhXtrp8JF1CqDW6EhCB6x2mc3J-I4Qm3bSUlFl2f1ikE9ol6g_aem_vmo6zXF2nYZ5TtHTx46YYw It is quite interesting and informative.
