Terrasea to Camelot Walking Path
The path connecting Terrasea and Camelot has been memorialized and has now been reopened. Thank you to everyone in the conversation to renew this important pathway. This path not only allows for an important connection between two neighborhoods but a way to the beach using the tire trail. Using this route reduces the auto traffic into the village and avoids pedestrians on highway 131 walking from Terrasea.
Community Pathways
In the months ahead you will begin to see markers on our community pathways making navigation on our pathways easier to navigate.
Short Beach Project
The design phase for the Short Beach trail improvement project is underway. A group of us from OAP, the county and Trailkeepers met recently to discuss improvement parameters. Trailkeepers (https://trailkeepersoforegon.org/) will lead the design and management of the trail work. They design trails for state and municipal parks all over the state. A draft plan will be delivered to the county from Trailkeepers. Once the design is reviewed by the county, an informational meeting will be scheduled for us to learn about the new design. Additionally, Trailkeepers in their role as project manager will help us as volunteers participate in the project. With the project hopefully beginning near the start of the year there soon should be some work we as volunteers can do on the trail to prepare for the new design. Once the project is underway, there will be a detailed list of tasks and a schedule for our volunteer efforts. Those details will be published as they develop, “stand-by.”
If you are interested in working on the Short Beach trail project, let me know by email: bobsprague@gmail.com.
When volunteer tasks are defined we will schedule a “Trail Team” meeting to organize our efforts.
