FMR Trail & Bridge Opening Event 2/13/13

Fitzgerald Marine Reserve’s California Coastal Trail Grand Opening Event will be Wednesday, February 13 at 10AM.  Meet at the FMR parking lot in Moss Beach.  After welcome and remarks by project partners (County and State Parks and Coastal Conservancy), guests are invited to explore the trail.

The trail has been closed since last October for grading for handicap accessibility, widening, paving, and a new bridge across San Vicente Creek. The late season start led to lengthy weather delays and stormwater runoff overwhelming erosion protection measures.  On 2/12/13, the Board of Supervisors is expected to approve contract changes authorizing a $32,000 cost overrun and extension of time to complete the project.
