K-Rails installed along the trail….Why?

K-Rails installed for safety – This segment of the River Mountains Loop Trail was and is being abused by illegal ATV & Motorcycle activity. Signs disappeared faster than the City could install them and enforcement was not working. Trail users were at risk from jumping of the bridge embankments.  I see this as a short term fix, […]

They're doing water main construction. I live near there and was notified about the project.

Probably dropping construction materials to one of those mega mansions in the hill

Looks like a recovery or a rescue. Its been happening for a couple of hours.

i didnt get the f.b notice..

I'd like more info for when you guys do a cleanup.

Thanks everyone. I’ve been on the trail many times and it always looks so clean. What kind of trash do you find? Is the trash coming from the casino?

Thanks Thanks Thanks. As a cyclist I occasional stop and kick large rocks off the pavement but i don’t pick up trash. Too bad the “walkers” can’t help keep the rocks off when they come across them.

Thank you all volunteers. That area gets alot of trash blown in from freeway etc.
