Multi-Use Trail Update, Name-the-Trail Winner Announced and More
I’m delighted to report that a portion of the city’s multi-use trail that will ring Technology Park Lake is near completion and is expected to open by the end of the year. We will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony and will announce the date and time in advance so all may attend and take an inaugural walk along this new section.
This will be an enjoyable stroll that also includes a scenic overlook of the 8-acre lake. The new section ties in with the current 12-foot wide trail section that runs along Technology Parkway.
