Constitution Trail Repaving

Project Description
Each year, the Parks and Recreation Department selects a
portion of the existing Constitution Trail to repave or improve.
During spring 2017, two sections north of Raab Road were selected for re-paving due to tree root issues. Staff evaluate sections annually to determine greatest need, and receive regular feedback from trail users.
Anticipated Future Operating Impact
Repaving the existing rough surface trail actually helps to
reduce the annual cost in the Parks maintenance budget, while
providing a safer surface to users. Costs savings from this
project are reflected in the Town’s operating budget.
