Trails:

Web Form: I've recently noticed the Rail Trail between Country Club Drive and Gordon Pike has sections of large gravel (see attached photo). I appreciate that maintenance is being done, assuming the City is responsible for this work. But, I am concerned because this large gravel is inconsistent with the existing surface for the trail. As a bike commuter and runner on this section of the trail, I was disappointed to see large gravel appear on the surface. The Rail Trail is a great surface to run and walk on and commute on. These patches of large gravel pieces diminish it's utility and enjoyment. Are there plans to use large gravel more often on the trail? I request that the smaller, packed surface be maintained. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you about the maintenance of the trail. Have a great day.

Nick - I'm reviewing some old cases on uReports and saw this went unanswered. Apologies. Sometimes when making repairs to the Rail Trail (like in this year's flood) we have to use larger gravel to fill in gaps and make the repairs. Quarter minus (crushed gravel) is typically added on the top but it takes some time and a few rains -- typically over a couple months -- for the trail to really start to compact and harden. Like we did with the flood repairs earlier this year, we then went back and removed the large gravel from the surface and rolled the entire trail surface to compact the quarter minus.
