New Walkway Designed to Highlight Olympic Athletes

A newly designed walkway is scheduled to be built along Yampa Street to highlight the accomplishments of Steamboats past Olympians. This the creation of a Walk of Olympians, a series of 18-by-18-inch bronze plaques to be placed along the Yampa Street sidewalk to honor the 80-plus Olympic athletes who grew up in Steamboat Springs, live here now, or were members of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club."

"The bronze plaques will include two images of each athlete — a portrait and action shot. The plaques also will include the events and years of each athlete’s Olympic appearances and the plaque sponsor’s name."
