COLUMBIA - Columbia Parks and Recreation Department is advising cyclists to avoid using multi-gravel trails or be prepared to dismount and walk around multiple trail sections damaged by floodwater, until further notice.
After significant rainfall and flood damage, Parks and Recreation crews made multiple repairs on the Columbia trail system this week.Â
Beginning Tuesday, crews will lay smaller surface rock on gravel trails.
Parks and Recreation s first objective has been to make repairs that include: fallen tree removal, clearing underpasses and laying 3-inch base rock so that trails can be passable and safe for pedestrian use. Most trails will have areas with loose debris, standing water and slippery surfaces including bridge decks. Underpasses may have a thin layer of mud and some loose gravel or debris.
