Rain, Rain Go Away !

ALDEN NASH "RIVER"
The day after my previous post, we were hit with a 3.5" rain that had its way with some of the trail sections.  Since then, we have had a few additional good 1+ " rains, but nothing like the earlier gully washer.  We have since recovered, but it will be nice to get all the embankments covered and grass growing!  A special thanks to all the trail neighbors for your continued patience during this "ugly" phase of construction.

The past 2 weeks has focused on closing up the work on the school properties and finishing up the retaining walls on the Alden Nash section.  With that complete, work on the final grading for that section can commence, followed by paving.

In with the New
Out with the Bad
The boardwalks and observation decks are scheduled to be worked on soon after a brief delay in securing the necessary materials.

Some exciting things are happening behind the scenes for the trail.  First, we hope to have a formal trail Grand Opening sometime in early October to be combined with another community event. Details to follow! 

Drainage Improvements


Measuring the Trail
The trail is also going to be a featured day trip for interested attendees to the American Public Planning Association convention being held in October.  The purpose of the trip (besides getting folks to walk off some of their convention food) is to highlight the inner governmental cooperation used to develop this trail as well as the public-private partnership used in the funding.

Paving Products must be good because these are the materials of making pavement. Good raw materials help us to make good pavement. Thanks admin for sharing this post and I hope you post more huge post about paving in the future. Thanks!
