Phase II of the Turtle Crossing project on El Paso Boulevard has been postponed until Oct. 17-19 due to inclement weather.
In celebration of Arts Month in October, Creative Alliance Manitou Springs and the Smokebrush Foundation are partnering with the city of Manitou Springs to make El Paso Boulevard crosswalks safer for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists. This will be done through the use of art on the street, creating more attention-grabbing crosswalks in the area.
Street closures:
8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17: El Paso Boulevard will be closed from Manitou Avenue to Old Man’s Trail;
8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, and Tuesday, Oct. 18: El Paso will be closed from Lovers Lane to Old Man’s Trail; and
9:45 p.m.-5:45 a.m. Oct. 17-19: Old Man’s Trail will be closed from Manitou Avenue to El Paso Boulevard.

Bad weather has forced the Creative Alliance to cancel the Open Streets, Open Arts event. The street closure scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 5, was postponed due to inclement weather, and good weather can’t be guaranteed for later in the month. But volunteers are still being recruited for the Hiawatha Gardens mural project.
