An overview of construction activity in Vail.
Peak season parking restrictions will be in place during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Free curbside collection of discarded Christmas trees will take place in Vail Dec. 26 through Jan. 31. Trees must be free of lights, tinsel, ornaments, stands and plastic wrapping. Also, trees should be left whole; do not cut trees into sections. Trees should be placed at the side of the road so as not to block the roadway.
Vail Transit will operate with a modified winter schedule that will include additional reductions in capacity and the doubling of buses on busy routes beginning Monday, Dec. 21, as efforts are taken to provide the highest and safest service levels possible. This will mean slight increases in service levels on some routes, adjustments on other routes and adoption of new guidelines issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment which will limit ridership to 20 passengers per bus based on a revised calculation formula. The town had been carrying as many as 40 riders per bus based on an earlier 50% calculation model. Use of facemasks and other public health protocols will continue to be required.
Vail Transit is extending its early winter schedule another week to allow for the training of new bus drivers and implementation of additional public health protocols. The town has been running its early winter schedule since Nov. 20 and was scheduled to transition to the full winter schedule Monday, Dec. 14. However, due to operational and staffing considerations, implementation of a modified schedule has been postponed until Dec. 21.
