Centennial trail closures

[Mick Walsh]

Bryant to the barn was closed today, at least they had signs up this year. Detour on 9 was ok.

Looks like they will be moving south over the next few weeks

It's that time of year when our mowing crew tackles the entire Centennial Trail corridor! They are starting at the north end and moving south this year. The Nakashima Barn Trailhead will be closed 10/13-10/17/25* for mowing with no detour. The Bryant Trailhead will be the closest trailhead open next week (see the trail map at 

https://snocoparks.info/CT).

 We will post more updates as the crew moves south. Pardon our dust as we work to improve your county parks!

To my knowledge, this is the only trail they close when they mow it. 

 

Some sections of the trail have unpleasant, perhaps dangerous, alternative routes (which, incidentally, the crews don’t identify).

 

It’s mildly inconvenient if you are doing a permanent, but what if you are using it for transportation?

 

Every time I’ve encountered them, I’ve noted there are people at both ends of the closure, and I don’t understand why they can’t pause for a few seconds while cyclists or pedestrians pass the “danger zone,” (where the mower might be shooting out debris) and I wonder if they’d bow to pressure from the community to alter their methods if we spoke up in unison.
