[grindstone-l] Grindstone Creek Trail Development Project Update

[Grindstone Creek Trail Planning]

On Friday, May 17, from approximately 1:00-4:30pm, numerous residents,
Councilpersons Barbara Hoppe and Karl Skala, John Holmes and Brian
Harrington from Allstate Consultants, former Mayor Darwin Hindman, and
Parks & Recreation staff members Mike Griggs, Gabe Huffington, Mike Snyder,
Brett O'Brien, and Janet Godon all met and walked several sections of the
Grindstone Trail. The end result of this meeting was that Allstate
Consultants would conduct additional survey work and further hydrological
studies to determine type and exact location of bridges. The goal is to
determine whether the preferred low water bridges will work or if elevated
clear span bridges are required.

This process is now completed, and staff has scheduled an interested party
meeting on Wednesday, July 17, from 5:00-7:00pm at the Activity &
Recreation Center (ARC). This will be a drop-in meeting where staff and
engineers will be available to discuss actual bridge locations and be
available to answer any technical Grindstone Trail questions that came up
during our last walk of the site, including but not limited to hydrology,
bridge design, tree removal, and alternates to connect the neighborhood
associations to the trail.

Parks and Recreation staff will also be available to discuss the remaining
GetAbout projects.

Project. For more information, consult the project web page - link below.
