Committee weighs printing new Manitou Springs trail map after Chamber runs out; print quote $2,200 for 5,000 brochures
Summary
After the Chamber reported it ran out of copies of the existing trail map, the committee discussed revising the Manitou Springs trail map, partner engagement, and whether to favor printed brochures or a digital map. Jillian reported a low print quote of $2,200 for 5,000 folded, full-color brochures from Minuteman Press.
The committee discussed whether to reprint the Manitou Springs trail map or rely on the city's interactive digital map after the Chamber of Commerce reported it had run out of copies. Members proposed a joint work session with the parks advisory board and parking and mobility committee to scope revisions and finalize distribution plans.
Jillian reported pricing information: "To print 5,000 of those 11 by 17 folded brochures on glossy paper, it's $2,200," she said, noting that Minuteman Press provided the lower quote while a copy store quoted about $5,000 for the same product. The group discussed ordering fewer printed copies, seeking nonprofit pricing through a local printer, and providing a downloadable PDF and QR codes as lower-cost alternatives.
Andrea said she would convene a joint work session (proposed dates Aug. 13 or Aug. 27) with the Chamber, PacMan and other partners to define map content and distribution strategy. Committee members suggested using a smaller print run if partners share costs and running a short Chamber-based survey to gauge visitor demand for printed versus digital maps.
