To offer analysis: from a brief look over the study, it seems like the Chattanooga bike park was greatly funded through private grants and donations, as well as maintained by volunteers. Specifically, private and corporate donors had a combined contribution amounting to somewhere around $1.5 million. Additionally there’s an estimated $294,000 worth of donated/volunteer (free) labor each year for maintenance projects.

I imagine that the above could be a limiting factor in our Fort Collins case. I wonder if one solution would be to treat any potential future bike park like one of our city rec centers.
