Mount Vernon Trail Widening South of TR Bridge

[Judd]

The Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail began work yesterday to remove silt and vegetation from the trail between Theodore Roosevelt Bridge and Memorial Bridge. Volunteers are addressing drainage issues that cause persistent standing water on the trail as part of the work. We are also removing English ivy and other invasives in the work area.

You can support the continuation of this work by signing up to volunteer at mountvernontrail.org/events or by making a contribution for us to buy more tools at https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-crash-free-trollheim

Part of the trail that’s currently covered on the western edge. It’s about a foot. Work hasn’t begun on this side yet.
