Ribbon cutting cancelled

To all Summit bikers,

Here is a message from Brad Eckert:

 

Greetings,

The Ribbon Cutting/Grand Opening of the Summit Cove Section of the Swan Mtn Recpath scheduled for October 29, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. has been cancelled due to winter weather conditions. The Grand Opening will be rescheduled for spring/summer of next year (2011).  Once we complete the spring plowing of our pathways we will couple this grand opening with a celebration of the 2011 cycling season.  Even more exciting will be the presentation of plans for the last phase of the Swan Mountain pathway from Sapphire Point to Highway 9.

For an update, the majority of the project is complete including paving, shoulders, revegetation, signing and striping. Construction of the handrail on the retaining wall is underway; however the winter weather conditions are slowing down fabrication. The project will be completed in its entirety by November 5, 2010.

Thank you for all your hard work and effort to make this project a reality. I look forward to celebrating the grand opening with you next year!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Brad Eckert
