ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS:
Ward Trail & Pedestrian Bridge Project Resident Update!
We have received several inquiries regarding red tape placed along the Ward Trail & Pedestrian Bridge project area.
The tape was installed by the contractor during a site walkthrough for field coordination purposes and DOES NOT indicate tree removal. At this time, tree marking has not begun. We will continue to keep residents informed as the project progresses.
