Heads Up CSPD has started enforcing trespassing laws at the informal rail crossing linking Ute Valley Park to the Pikes Peak Greenway 🛤
To be clear: it's not a designated crossing 🚫 and using it is genuinely dangerous but without it, riders are being pushed onto Rockrimmon Blvd with no sidewalk, no protected space
