Previous Update:
Work is underway on a new bike path which will lead from the southern end
of Big Stone Lake to the Big Stone County Wildlife Refuge and our
Lakeside Park will be transformed into the Regional Trailhead.
Bike Trail:
6/22/09 - Nick Anderson, Big Stone County Engineer, advises that the trail
grading and bridges will be complete next week. If the County bonds
for the surfacing, installation will be in late July. If they cannot
bond for the funding, they will be waiting for further Federal Funding in
2014 or 2015 (in this case, they will put an Asphalt Cement armor coat on
it so it will be hard but not as smooth as a skate boarder would like it
to be.)
As for the Lakeside Park/Trail Head project,
City Council took action on June 15th to authorize Interstate Engineering,
Inc. to proceed with preparation of plans and specifications for the
following:
Removal
of the road and construction of the cul-de-sac.
Construction of the Parking Lot with thickened edge sidewalks in lieu of
curb and gutter.
Grading
for the playground. This will include excavating to the bottom of
the playground surface material, installation of a border (timber curb),
and the chain link fence.
