Good morning Bike Board, I wanted to send you an update on grants I am submitting for this year’s round of Recreational Trail Grants. If interested in writing a letter of support for any or all of these- I can send you a draft. I would need by the end of this week if possible. Ella
Under Mon River Trails Conservancy 1) purchase of maintenance equipment, 2) Mon River Trail resurfacing (Little Falls to Opekiska), 3) Deckers Creek Trail Undercut restoration (additional funds for repair just up from Krogers), and 4) Deckers Creek Trail repaving (1/2 mile from Greenbag Road intersection up past Kroger).
Under BOPARC Engineering Design only- Forest Avenue Landslide on Deckers Creek Trail (in mile one)
Under Star City Additional funds for the Caperton Trail and Rivers Landing Connector Trail This project is having a hard time meeting ADA requirements that the DOH is imposing on it. Plus the landowner (one of the Gabriel Brothers owners) is holding fast to not having it go on any of the Rivers Landing property (this is the location of CVS, Aldi’s, and Golden Corral). This means the entire project will be on DOH right of way under the Star City bridge and rail-trail property as it gets down to the trail.
