Fountain Creek Plan

The COS Creek Plan will establish a comprehensive vision for the future investments and stewardship of Fountain Creek Watershed with a specific focus on segments of the Monument and Fountain creeks adjacent to Downtown Colorado Springs.  The COS Creek Plan establishes an implementable vision, which respects our communities' values, responds to infrastructure needs, and leverages opportunities.  The Plan is intended to create excitement, foster collaboration, and identify public and private partnership opportunities.
