Attention River Bend Trail users, the developers will be removing the old shed on the end of South Kyes St along the trail beginning on Saturday (10/17) and hopefully finishing on Monday (10/19). The trail will not close during this time but we do ask that you proceed through that area with caution as there will be equipment intermittently crossing the trail and work being done in close proximity. . . Thank you.
