1 | El Paso County Parks and Community Services has reviewed this Site Development Plan for the Xcel Power Pathway Project. As noted in previously reviewed 1041 Permit applications, the 2022 El Paso County Parks Master Plan shows no impacts to existing or proposed parks, trails, bicycle routes, or open space. As such, no trail easements or park land considerations are necessary for this project. El Paso County Parks Department continues to have no objections to the powerline project. Thank you! | 6/25/2026 10:06:51 AM | |
