Will Mason Street Trail remain open during construction?
Mason Street Trail will remain open throughout construction, according to a Colorado Trail Explorer closure posting by FCTrails. It says the trail will have a temporary surface and detour route. Fort Collins’ trail guidance tells you not to enter closed trails and to obey trail detours.
What don't the official pages say?
The pages say Spring Creek Trail will be detoured, but they do not specify the route you should take.
Who can answer the rest?
The Parks Division is the office named on the city’s Paved Trails page, at 970-221-6660 and [email protected]. Those contacts are listed for the Adopt-a-Trail Program, not identified as contacts for closure or detour questions.
