In my uninformed opinion, speeding on wet roads is a contributing factor to 100% of the cashes there.

Road design can only do so much when it comes to “fixing stupid.”

As for public agencies being held liable for not fixing “obvious” defects in design or maintenance of facilities under their care, it’s a high hurdle.

The Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail pressure washed the intersection of Trollheim and ramp to the TR Bridge this morning. We did a total of three passes with the pressure washer. Picture below shows the difference between dirty (on the left) and washed (on the right). A big thank you to volunteers who cleared invasive honeysuckle around Trollheim this year. Not only has it prevented a lot of vegetation growth into the bridge but it also made it possible to run the hose from NPS’ pressure washer and reach the bridge. If you’d like to help improve the Mount Vernon Trail, register for an upcoming volunteer event at mountvernontrail.org/events

A little bit more before and after to show the difference after pressure washing. Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail will be out tomorrow morning at Trollheim trimming some honeysuckle away from the north side of the bridge. We could use some more help.
