Upcoming work 

Construction continues along the Creek Trail, with active work zones throughout the project area. Here's what you can continue to expect over the next two weeks: 

• Steel fence post installation from Date to Ash Streets 
• Wayfinding sign installation between Broadway Avenue and Ash Street 
• Irrigation work from Fig to Rose Streets 
• Cable railing installation and fence removal from Fig to Ash Streets 
• Trenching for electrical conduits from Rose Street to Midway Drive 
• Grading and placing gravel base (Class II base) Date to Ash Streets 

Construction will pause for the July 4th holiday, but equipment and materials will remain on-site. Please continue to use caution when passing through the area. 

Trail users should anticipate the following impacts: 

• Periodic short-term closures during irrigation and fence work. 
• Cable railing work will require 24-hour closures for public safety, with each section taking 4–5 working days to complete. 

Please pay attention to road signs in the area for the most up-to-date information on Creek Trail access.
