Parks commission: trail bridges finished, one stair and minor surfacing remain
Summary
The Parks Commission reported the new trail bridges in Depoe Bay are essentially complete, with a final stair and limited gravel work outstanding; staff plan a site visit before opening the trail to the public.
The Parks Commission reported that work on the trail bridges is effectively finished, with a final stair and some minor gravel work remaining before the trail can open to the public. Unidentified Speaker 2 said the contractor "finished that according to all yesterday" and that the commission would schedule an inspection.
Why it matters: The brief update signals the completion of an infrastructure project intended to improve access to a local trail and potentially increase visitor use. Commissioners said they expect only minor follow-up work before a public opening.
Commissioners said crews completed most structural work and have one last stair to install and a few spots to fill with gravel. Unidentified Speaker 2 described the remaining tasks as cosmetic: the contractor must "fill in some places with gravel" and allow "mother nature's gonna take care of the trail" in a few areas. The group agreed to take photos and schedule a site visit in the coming week before announcing a formal opening date.
The commission did not take a formal vote during the update. Staff or commissioners will bring any necessary signage, maintenance plans and an opening timetable to a future meeting for confirmation.
