As work continues in the river valley due to damage caused by last year’s historical flooding the area remains closed to the public.

The city confirmed Monday, Feb. 1, the emergency response work has been completed but work to install permanent infrastructure will proceed this spring.

Manager of public works Pat Mahood said once the trail is deemed safe for recreational purpose the public will be notified and encouraged residents to take advantage of other areas such as the trails on Fox Mountain, the hike to Signal Point and Bull Mountain.
