From:? Peggy Pings.........................

I went to the meeting on 3/11, but there were only 4 of us who were not part of AP or contractors.

The good news is that AP will do a trial year of keeping the trail open 12 months, starting now.? It is open now, the entire 4.5 miles.

They will also build the hiking trail in the 140-acre woods at the end, with interp panels & bike rack & shelter.

They will also build a small boat dock at the far end by the point, so paddlers can tie up & use the trail, also for?AP's own emergency needs.?

?

If the county or DOH will hang directional signs, AP will have them made.? Not sure who will follow up on that.? I think the DNR would like a road sign showing the river access ramp also, so maybe Frank Jernecjic will lead.

?

They also agreed a number of years ago to make the "at grade" link to the Sheepskin, once the Sheepskin is built... at least past the power station to the road.? Getting a big bridge or two rebuilt is not likely, unless Fayette County includes it in their contract for the other 6 bridges along Grassy Run.?

?

Spread the word.
