Message from Bob Stoudt
Well, despite our best efforts to continue making progress on the North Branch Canal Trail, this week’s winter weather is going to put the brakes on things for a bit. I’m disappointed to report the work day scheduled for this Sunday, 2/9, is cancelled because of the snowy conditions and weekend forecast for additional snow. Weather permitting, we will try to get out again on the following Sunday, 2/16, from 1:00pm to 4:30pm. More details will be emailed to this group as we get closer to the 16th. Thanks again to those who have worked so hard to get us as far as we are today. As you’ll see in the graphic below, we’re now 2.3 miles into the 6.2 mile corridor. It’s taken a great deal of work to get this far and I’m very grateful for the number of volunteers who have joined us in less than ideal weather. Hopefully spring is just around the corner Bob Bob Stoudt | Director, Montour Area Recreation Commission / River Towns Race Series | PO Box 456, Danville, PA 17821 (570) 336-2060 | [email protected] | http://www.MontourRec.com As approved at the February 3, 2014 Council meeting the minutes of Jan 6th are listed and amended to reflect motions were voted and approved by all council members present.
