Residents interested in the future of one of Prince George's most popular parks and trail systems are invited to an information session this Thursday in the Keith Gordon Room at the Prince George Public Library.
The topic will be upcoming engineering operations at Cottonwood Island Nature Park and a portion of the Heritage River Trail that runs from the park to the Cameron Street Bridge.
The work is expected to help to mitigate and prevent further damage to the park and the trails caused by erosion from seasonal flooding and ice jams.
The event runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and DWB Consulting Services, retained to identify preferred options for the work, will give a presentation at 6 p.m.
"The riverfront trail system was analyzed by DWB with a recommended option selected for each section of trail depending upon the severity of the erosion, the feasibility of the operation, and the most suitable solution over the long-term," project manager Michael le Morvan said in a media release. "Each of the options differs in their overall cost and impact to the Nechako riverside habitat."
Staff will later present this information to council for consideration as a multi-year project. A feedback form for residents is available at the library or online on the city website. The deadline for responses is December 8.
