Work on Foss Creek pathway extension continues
Construction work continues on the extension of the Foss Creek pathway. Segments seven and eight of the project will extend the pathway from the storm water detention basin, adjacent to the skate park, north across Dry Creek Road and continuing north to the intersection of Grove Street and Healdsburg Avenue.
Current work activities include installing aggregate base material and pathway lighting conduits in preparation for paving, according to the most recent city manager update.
Earlier last month, the 80-foot prefabricated weathered steel bridge was set crossing Foss Creek. Next, crews will work on intersection and traffic signal work where the pathway crosses Dry Creek Road.
Construction is ahead of schedule and the pathway is expected to open later this calendar year.
