THE HIGH LINE CANAL PRESERVATION THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS

The High Line Canal boasts 71 miles in length and more than 500,000 recreational visitors annually. Over the past year, the High Line Canal Conservancy has worked with several cities and residents to develop a Community Vision Plan for the canal’s future. Centennial has endorsed this plan, along with Denver Water and nine other jurisdictions. To date, Centennial has worked with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, Arapahoe County Open Space and the City of Littleton to replace three bridges, install a new bridge at Franklin Street, upgrade the trailhead at Elati Street and build a new restroom at Milliken Park that is expected to be complete in September 2017.
