Azalea Hill Trail project just received $700,000 in RTP funding, a crucial win that will help complete an MCBC 3 Gaps trail project! When completed, the project will close a gap for bicyclists traveling between Mount Tamalpais and Pine Mountain along the old Liberty Gulch Road shown in purple on the map. It will reduce sediment into Alpine Lake and restore sensitive habitat on Azalea Hill as well. Phase I and II got underway this summer, which included work on the lower third... of the trail and construction of bridge footings to connect Bullfrog road with the new multi-use trail. An 80-foot bridge, which was made possible by a $75,000 grant from the Emig Trust, will be lowered into place later this month. Work on the final phase can now move forward thanks to the RTP funds. Kudos to MMWD for applying for the funds and to California Senator Mike McGuire for supporting the RTP application. #3Gaps #experiencemcbc #slowandsayhello #nextgenstewards See more
