WEEK 8:
The contractor wrapped up laying compacted gravel on the north side of the ravine—about 1,800 linear feet of trail! This crucial stretch ties together the finished trail on both the north and south sides of the ravine. With this connection nearly complete, the Coastal Trail at Wavecrest is so close to being fully linked!

COMING UP NEXT WEEK:
The crew will shift focus to the northwest end of the ravine, where they’ll stabilize a large gully in preparation for installing the north stairs. For now, this repaired gully will also serve as the construction access point down to the beach so work can begin on the south stairs (which need to go in first). In addition, the team plans to lay down gravel on the existing road between Smith Field Ballpark and the ravine crossing.

Here’s a glimpse of the beauty that greets us all as we spend time walking and working on this trail…

And a glimpse of someone quietly watching it all unfold…
