Connor J. 1992. Proposal for Additional Retaining Walls on Trail Ridge Road and Fall River Road. Rocky Mountain National Park, Resources Management Division
Proposal to build retaining walls to reduce the angle of repose so steep road slopes can be revegetated. In 1987 when Jeff Connor, Natural Resources Specialist arrived at Rocky Mountain National Park, one of his responsibilities was to manage the revegetation and exotic program. Jim Thompson, (Superintendent), and Craig Axtell, (Chief of Resources Management) assigned Jeff with the task of looking into destabilized road shoulders and working with Facility Maintenance to come up with an action plan to stabilize and revegetate road shoulders where safety was a concern from rocks and boulders falling onto the road.
