Winter weather is finally here in this first week of December. Clearing and grubbing of trees and bushes continues on the Hagemann Gulch bridge abutment areas on the east and west sides of the gulch. During the clearing process the heritage roses on the top of the eastern bank were uncovered. These roses are the 'Rose of Castile', planted by the Arana family in about 1843. They are the last original plants of that rose in town. The Parks and Recreation Department has removed some that were the most impacted by the new bridge alignment and they will be transplanted.
New Marsh Vista Trail
Grading of the new Marsh Vista trail is still on schedule to begin December 9. The trail will be temporarily unavailable while California Conservation Corps (CCC) crews will be cutting in the new trail. Please use caution and follow the detour signs until the trail is opened for public use.

Construction of the new multi-use trail continues this week on the hillside portion of the east/west segment with the excavation, grading, and compaction to prepare for the the installation of fabric and base rock. Work on the main trail continues through next week with formwork and placement of pervious concrete.
