Construction Update:

The construction of Four Mile Creek Greenway is upon us.  Within the next two weeks, the project contractor will be installing a primary construction entrance at the future trail access location on Rockwell View Road.  Equipment will be delivered to the site and silt fence and other erosion control measures will be installed.  Once these measures are in place, trail clearing and grading will begin.
