Wavecrest Trail Extension Update: Weeks 5–7
As construction moves forward, it feels like we’re not the only ones keeping watch over the new trail. An orb weaver spider recently set up its web nearby, perfectly positioned to take in all the activity. Here’s what the spider (and our crew!) have been seeing these past few weeks:
Week 5
The contractor laid compacted gravel along the trail loop on the south side of the ravine, completing about 4,000 linear feet—roughly one-third of the total trail length.
Week 6
Building on the previous week’s work, the contractor cleaned up along the trail edges and used a mini-excavator to decompact and spread material on the casual trail areas adjacent to the newly constructed trail. This step will help these areas naturally revegetate over time.
Week 7
The contractor excavated much of the remaining trail north of the ravine, moving us closer to connecting the full alignment.
Just like the orb weaver’s web, each piece of this project connects to the next—slowly but surely creating something strong, beautiful, and lasting. Stay tuned for more updates as the Wavecrest Trail Extension takes shape!
