We thank the project team for all the work, communication, clear detours and the opening of the trail connecting to Mesa Rd prior to the underpass being completed.

Thanks to the project team’s efforts we can celebrate:

• Enhanced the Greenway Trail
  • Pedestrian access ramps provide safe access to the creek corridor
  • Mesa Road underpass improves safety for trail users crossing the busy street
• Protected crucial water infrastructure: The project stabilizes the creek bed, safeguarding a vital wastewater interceptor and other water lines.
