COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — An appeal to overturn the recently approved Fishers Canyon Open Space master plan was rejected by Colorado Springs City Council.
The appeal was denied by a close 5 to 4 vote.
Fishers Canyon is land acquired by the city with the help of funding through the city’s Trails and Open Space Tax (TOPS).
After a 20-month process that included a series public input meetings, the Parks Advisory Board approved the master plan back in May.
A group comprised mostly of neighbors who live near the proposed park appealed the decision before Colorado Springs City Council.___
