The Urban Drainage and Flood Control District and
Public Agency Partnering
![Page 5: Asfpm 2005 Multi Use Greenways With Nai](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5487f54fb4af9f730d8b5591/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Who is the Metro Denver Urban Drainage
and Flood Control District?
Quasi-governmental agency established by the
Colorado State Legislature in 1969 to assist local
governments in 6 counties, 34 cities with multi-
jurisdictional drainage and flood control projects.
![Page 6: Asfpm 2005 Multi Use Greenways With Nai](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5487f54fb4af9f730d8b5591/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Who is UDFCD? Continued
Governed by 20 member Board Of Directors
18 – Elected Officials
2 – Professional Engineers
Budget is about 15 million each year, funded by
property taxes. 20 full time staff, all engineering
design, project construction and maintenance
work contracted out to private industry.

Denver Drainageway
Characteristics
Semi-arid climate, 15 inches of rain per year
Most erosion and flooding due to thunderstorms
Only 6-8 creeks have more than 5 cfs base flow
About 95% are natural open channels (only a small portion contained by levies)
Elevation: 5,280 ft – “Mile High City”
Population 2.2 Million
![Page 10: Asfpm 2005 Multi Use Greenways With Nai](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5487f54fb4af9f730d8b5591/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Partnering on Trail Projects
for Over 35 Years
Work with Cities, Counties, Park Districts
Maintenance access trails proposed in Drainageway Master Plans since the 70’s
Drainageways platted in separate tracts of land dedicated to Park Districts or HOAs
Denver area’s network of trails is linked together through the drainage ways
Many projects have combined stream restoration and trail construction/maintenance together
![Page 11: Asfpm 2005 Multi Use Greenways With Nai](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5487f54fb4af9f730d8b5591/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
UDFCD Trail Participation Policy
Trail must serve a maintenance access need for a
drainage way
Right-of way, design, construction and restoration
maintenance eligible for funding
Participation limited to 50% of the design and
construction cost for a “soft” surface trail, or 25%
of a concrete trail
Design must be reviewed by UDFCD, either party
can manage the project

Planning and Designing Greenways
Planning:
Identify watershed, jurisdictions, land ownership
Involve public
Continuity, connectivity, accessibility
Resource preservation and protection
Floodplain and geomorphology
Buffering, vistas, views
Education and stewardship
Signage and way-finding
Multiple use benefits
Safe and maintainable

Stream Crossings
Bridges
Low Flow Crossings
Informal Boulder Step Crossings
Must be designed to withstand flow velocities during storm events

Prefab. or Reinforced Concrete Construction
Fixed or Collapsible Handrails
Erosion Protection at Corners
Often Combined with Channel Stabilization Measures

Underpasses
Safe Grade Separation from Vehicles
Often Inundated Several Times per Year
Ramp to Street Grade Desirable
• Safe Route During Flooding
• Access Point for Public & Maintenance
Separate Underpass Structures
• More Costly, but:
• Separated from Streamside Environment
• Can Provide Supplemental Flood
Capacity
