A grateful thanks to the Editorial Board for recognizing the importance of Vision 2030 to our future. This 'heart and soul effort' has helped clarify what we value most in our communities and how to ensure that what's most important to us is retained and sustained for the future.
The Vision 2030 Final Reports will be sent this week to every household mailing address in Routt County and will be available at your local libraries. An online version is on the website listed below. Please read your copy. A very diligent Citizen's Committee spent the past two years listening and learning the values and visions of our residents, and the final report outlines the 'Desired Outcomes' or compass points for our future, and the 'Recommended Actions' to bring us there.
The hope is that by sharing our common values and visions, we can collectively come to better solutions. The report will ideally enable better 'interest-based' decision making by seeking ways to achieve the desired outcomes.
Beyond the Final Report, the Vision 2030 website at www.vision2030routt.org has a treasure of data including survey responses; polling results from our Vision 2030 Gatherings; slide shows from schoolkids across Routt County and more.
Vision 2030 will indeed become reality through the stewardship, passion and dedication of those who care enough to take ideas and turn them into action. I urge all of us to join together in this journey. For more information or to join the Vision 2030 Stewardship Committee, visit www.vision2030routt.org or call 970-846-1404.
Thank you Routt County! -Tammie Delaney Vision 2030 Project Manager
Hayden's heritage is definitely its greatest asset. A grateful thanks to Jan, Arianthe, Towny and HRC! for the historical survey and now let's get to work on formally recognizing our historic buildings. I'm in!
A couple minor corrections. Please note the TUESDAY, Nov 11th Meeting is at the South Routt Elementary School, 448 East Main Street in YAMPA (not Oak Creek as listed in the call-out box).
Vision 2030 Co-Chairs are Marsha Daughenbaugh and Kathy Stokes, while Tammie Delaney is the Project Manager.
The Vision 2030 Citizens Committee has been listening and learning about Routt County residents priorities and values over the past year and these Gatherings help us determine if we've heard it correctly. Please come join us at our meeting in South Routt on Tuesday 11/11 or West Routt on Monday 11/17!
As Strawberry Park was my childhood home, I'll attest that this road is a gem in our community for ALL types of road users. HORSE, BIKE, PEDESTRIAN or vehicle. Strawberry Park road/RCR 36 lets our community access the 'countryside' within a couple of minutes and still is a place that's relatively safe for riding bikes with kids, riding your horse within close proximity to town or going for a quiet walk.
Part of the narrow lane striping aspect WAS to intentionally slow traffic speed due to the heavy multi-use aspect. It's not just bikers, folks, walkers, equestrians and more use this as a quick loop in and out of town.
Speed of vehicles has always been an issue on this road due to the multi-use aspect. Yes, even when it was dirt and before the intersection of Amethyst & 36. The more that can be done to encourage this extraordinary route be recognized as a multi-use road rather than a highway the better and thanks Diane Mitsch-Bush for recognizing that this is one of those 'special places' where we can still ride our horse, bike or take a walk just moments from town!
It's places like Strawberry Park, that let us still feel like open spaces and countryside are still part of Steamboat's heritage.
Transportation is an issue that Vision 2030 is hearing lots of concern towards, both at the Gatherings last November and on surveys. (Vision 2030 is a County-wide citizen's led effort). If you haven't done so yet, please complete a Vision 2030 survey at http://vision2030routt.org/ (there's survey links at both right and middle of page). In reviewing past recommendations from the 1994 effort, all the recommendations that had a citizen's led component (e.g. PDR; First Impressions; Recycling among others) found great success--Transportation definitely needs a citizens-led component and kudos to Fred for bringing this forward! Please make sure your voice is included and visit www.vision2030routt.org -- more info is on the 'About' link on left of page!
We finally visited Quinteros about a week ago and it was so amazing we found ourselves there again last night. The best mexican food I've ever had, great service, and they've definitely upscaled the atmosphere. We're grateful to have such an amazing restaurant here in Hayden!
