The Cape LaCroix Recreation Trail, from Bloomfield Road through the Shawnee Park Sports Complex, closed in April for renovation. Project managers still hope to open the popular walking and bicycle path this month.

Pipes and concrete have been replaced, and the trail was widened from 8 to 12 feet. During the renovation, crews also discovered a broken stormwater pipe that needs to be replaced before the trail can safely reopen.

As crews finish other tasks in the coming weeks, and with traffic off the freshly seeded areas, vegetation should regrow to keep mud off the trail during heavy rains. If work continues as planned, this section of the trail is expected to reopen by the end of the month.

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the trail. The end result will be a fresh new surface and a wider trail for everyone to enjoy.

REMINDER - City offices are closed for Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 7. That week, Monday’s trash/recycling route will be run on Tuesday. Tuesday’s trash/recycling route will be run on Wednesday. All other routes remain the same that week.

City Council will meet Tuesday, September 8 at 5 p.m. at City Hall.

Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
