Document Description
Reroute Taber Trail in Standish Hickey Recreation Area to eliminate the steep grades encountered along the existing alignment and to create a more accessible trail for all users. Work will: install gravel turnpiking and a drain lens to correct drainage flow and to eliminate a short, steep linear grade; remove a portion of the trail along the creek; install hardened tread surface (rock riprap or pavers) across creek; haul excavated materials to a stable location for later use as turnpiking. Additional work includes removal of vegetation from the meadow and trail with weed wrenches, uprooting, and a non-toxic brush control. Upon completion of vegetation controls, the meadow will be reforested. Project increases accessibility and protects natural resources.
