Will council reconsider parks and recreation bond?
Monday, we wrote that Town staff failed to include in the bond documents the specific uses the funds from the recently approved $25 million parks and recreation bond issue are to be used. Tuesday, we wrote five reasons why it’s entirely possible that the funds will be spent on items different from those approved by council in July. There is no motion to reconsider the parks and recreation bond vote. It may be that this town council wants the use of these funds to be subject to change. This will leave a rather large sum of funds available for the next council to spend.
Big Wash Trail Head to remain open during construction
"Big Wash Trailhead users will start seeing construction equipment and activity as crews begin to clear vegetation adjacent to the trailhead for future bank protection. But rest assured, the trail and parking lot will remain open, with no detours or closures...The Tranquilo development will include future improvements to the trailhead. New bank protection will protect the trailhead from future flooding and erosion. Eventually, once bank protection is finished, the Big Wash Trail will be extended south to Tangerine Road.

Tranquilo is the project where homes are being built down towards the wash. Learn more here.
