Getting your player ready...
Property owners standing in the way of an $80 million water-pipeline project for the city of Greeley have agreed to let survey crews onto their land as part of a settlement agreement worked out this week.
But the landowners say they will still fight to have the pipeline moved elsewhere because it will probably destroy a historically significant 130-year-old railroad grade.
Crews will be allowed onto the properties under certain conditions. They will do biological and archaeological studies and some core drilling.
The grade is on the National Register of Historic Places and was on Colorado Preservation Inc.’s list of endangered places.
