This phase of work is planned to extend the St. Vrain Greenway trail east from Sandstone Ranch Nature Area to St. Vrain State Park. The new trail route will add more than 2 miles of trail to the system.

At its eastern extent at St. Vrain State Park, the trail will connect to an additional 2.1 miles of the Colorado Front Range Trail, which then will connect to the Weld Legacy Trail east of I-25 in the City of Firestone.

In 2001, the City of Longmont adopted the St. Vrain Greenway Master Plan - East Corridor Update. The 2001 update was the product of a collaborative effort between City of Longmont staff, consultant staff, key stakeholders, and local residents to provide an update to the original St. Vrain River Greenway Master Plan adopted in 1993. The 2001 update was undertaken to respond to changing circumstances within eastern Longmont and to refine the preferred vision for the trail from Main Street, east to the confluence with Boulder Creek. Portions of the St. Vrain Greenway trail west of Main Street to the City of Longmont's Golden Ponds Nature Area were constructed in accordance with the 1993 Master Plan and prior to the 2001 update. The portions of the St. Vrain Greenway trail west of Golden Ponds Nature Area are addressed in the 2004 St. Vrain Trail Master Plan.
