Trails Work Continues

Work on the VanTuyl Ranch Trails System continues. Two local contractors, Ray Excavation and Spallone Construction have been working on the western loop extension on the City-owned ranch. A small bridge was installed, fill material hauled & placed, and some grading & compaction has been completed. The trail is still not complete but after joining the two sections and final grading, it should be open for public access in the spring, 2012. Pictured above - Mayor Jonathan Houck and City Manager Ken Coleman try out the "trail in progress".
