While the base construction of the northern half of the trail at By-the-Lake Park has been completed, the top coat will not be done until mid-2014 due to inconsistent freezing of the trail.
In order to prevent damage to the existing paved surface, crews had to wait until the trail completely froze in order to move the paving equipment to the paving site. Due to the heavy, wet snowfalls recently experienced, as well as the warm weather, the trail has not frozen completely and work has been delayed until early summer of 2014. The trail will remain open for public use until that time.
