Five Wounds Trail Meeting & Trail Count

Five Wounds Urban Village Posted on August 21, 2015 by Terry ChristensenAugust 21, 2015

Friends of Five Wounds Trail:

Our Fall meeting is coming up Thursday, September 17, 6:30 p.m. at Roosevelt Community Center.

We will hear reports from VTA, City and County on progress on maintenance of the trail and future plans and an up-date on BART planning and we’ll plan for the fall trail count and clean up on October 24th.

The trail count is scheduled for September 23rd.  We need volunteers, so please let me know if you can cover an hour or two that day between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. Participating in the count has been an important way for us to demonstrate the need for a properly finished trail by showing how much the trail is used even in its current condition.

Hope to see you September 17.
