Residents using the affected trail segment should plan for the temporary closure and use adjacent sidewalks. Construction of the Ruatan Street sidewalk is progressing, with substantial completion expected by mid-March 2026 if weather allows; community outreach will occur before the street changes to one-way traffic. The committee will continue reviewing crash and near-miss data to identify locations for future safety improvements.
