The Village of Carbon announced a number of capital construction projects to be completed, including repairs to a walking path which sustained damage in 2018 due to overland flooding.
Sections of the walking path, running adjacent to Kneehill Creek, were washed away when the creek overflowed its banks in 2018.
“We have been in talks with TrailNet for permission to use parts of their trail to tie into the village pathway system. This was granted at the end of the year 2019, beginning of the year 2020,” Carbon CAO Vanessa Van der Meer told the Mail.
Anchor Excavating from Linden has been contracted to complete digging on the path, and the village’s Public Works department will place gravel for the new walking area.
Van der Meer is hopeful the repairs to the walking path will be completed by the end of August, with completion of all capital projects by October 30.
