The closures were scheduled to begin Monday, but they were delayed because of snow over the weekend.

Phase A – uphill from the Canyonwood subdivision driveway to Gold Camp Road. This includes the entire Gold Camp Road. from the east parking lot to the start of the asphalt (Three culverts)
Phase B- from the Starsmore Center to Mt. Cutler/Mt. Muscoco Trailhead (12 culverts)
Phase C- from Mt. Cutler/Mt. Muscoco Trailhead to the Canyonwood subdivision driveway (18 culverts)

The culvert repairs are expected to cost $200,000 and will be funded by the city’s stormwater fund. The road repaving will be paid for by funds from the voter-approved 2C sales tax increase.
