Friends of Pathways here, bringing you more Back to School safety pointers!

🚦When you are feeling unsure of what to do at an intersection, you always have the option to dismount your bike, become a pedestrian, and safely walk your bike across the crosswalk

🚵 Know that sidewalks are an option when you feel unsafe in the road, especially for younger kids on their way to and from school!

👕 Wearing bright colors can help you stay more visible to other bikers and drivers on the road. Wearing reflective materials can also help increase your visibility to other road users

Good news: The pathway that crosses Greogory Lane will be open for the first week of school! Sweet!

However, it will close again for the construction crew to install a storm line, curbs, and gutters. The Town will notify the community when that closure is necessary and place signs for bikers and pedestrians to follow a detour.

Bridger-Teton National Forest is excited to implement parking lot and sign improvements at Nelson Drive Trailhead. The trailhead area and adjacent trails will be closed temporarily for approximately two weeks to reconstruct the existing parking area into a more efficient and sustainable design that better accommodates visitors and protects soil, plant, and water resources. The project includes regrading the existing native surface road to address chronic erosion and drainage issues. The trailhead will be closed from Monday, August 25th through Friday, September 5th.

Nelson Knoll Loop, Water Tank Road, Lower Putt Putt, Woods Canyon, and Crystal Lite trails will be temporarily closed during construction. Putt Putt, Woods Canyon, and Crystal Butte trails can still be accessed above the closure area from Cache Creek Trailhead.

While the trailhead is closed during the reconstruction project, technicians will gather geo-
technical information adjacent to the existing Forest Service housing units that will inform future Forest Service housing plans.

During the Nelson Trailhead reconstruction project, local pedestrian neighborhood access to Putt Putt and Woods Canyon Trails may occur from the Henley Access Trail off Nelson Drive. Trail users planning to park should use Cache Creek Trailhead.
