OSTAC backs QR codes and clearer signage for 2026 trail map; e-device rules flagged for review
Summary
OSTAC members supported adding QR codes and stable links to the 2026 trail map to share trail-education videos. The committee also discussed the E-device campaign and suggested clearer signage and a possible ban of e-devices on soft-surface trails; staff will review current laws and signage.
Brian Genge, OST Technician, updated the committee on the 2026 trail map review and said staff and OSTAC reviewers are finalizing map content, with back-side review next.
Members suggested adding QR codes and stable links to Open Space videos, such as a trail etiquette video and an e-device informational video. Michael McLane suggested adding QR codes for trail videos; Brian said QR codes will be used in the 2026 map in a way that does not overwhelm readers and that links will be to sites with evergreen content to improve map longevity.
Staff also reviewed the E-Device campaign. Judy Hammer asked whether Broomfield is petitioning Colorado representatives to make e-device laws consistent across the state; Kristan Pritz said some current laws are statewide already and staff can check that approach at an upcoming e-device meeting. Committee members proposed adding clearer trailhead signage (including visual quick guides) about what is and is not allowed; Michael suggested banning e-devices on all soft-surface trails to reduce damage and ruts, and Doug Errett recommended signage at the McKay Lake pump track.
No formal policy change or vote was taken; staff will return with options and any legal or enforcement implications.
