Municipal Departments Partner To Repair Section of Coastal Trail

Mayor's Corner

10/2/2015

ANCHORAGE – Starting Monday, the Municipality of Anchorage Street Maintenance and Municipal Parks & Recreation departments will partner to perform shoreline stabilization on a section of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.

October 5th – October 16th from 8:00AM - 6:00PM a section of the trail from west of Lyn Ary Park to Westchester Lagoon will close. During the closure, Parks & Recreation asks that recreational trail users observe all closure signs and utilize the provided detour. The shoreline adjacent to this section of the Coastal Trail experienced substantial erosion from saturated soils and wind driven waves during the high tide on August 31.

The trail will be open with unrestricted access on the weekend during this time frame.  Most of the shoreline along the trail has been protected from natural effects of tides and weather events using large rocks. This section of trail has not yet received this protective treatment.

For more information, contact Josh Durand at (907) 343-4427.
