At the State of the City meeting tonight officials reported that Canyon Park is about 95% finished, however both the sewer and water lines need pumps, and only Southern California Edison can connect them, and Edison is very busy following the fires that hit the area.
The Wilderness Preserve, however, will likely be open early next week. The city wants to wait until after the predicted rain storms this week, then fix any rutting or other problems caused by the storms before opening the Preserve.

Brad there are ruts up and down clamshell truck trail! At least for the last 55 years I've been going!
ReplyDeletePoor excuse to keep Monrovia citizens out!
I don’t think it’s the road up to Sunset bench from Ridgeside that is a problem. It’s the trail down west from the bench all the way down what the rangers call “Arcadia Ridge.” That whole area was bulldozed to make a wide fire break. Portions are steep, the ground was powdery with all the vegetation cleared off and strong rain could make some deep cuts. I agree that it needs to be open as soon as possible - I’m having withdrawal symptoms. 😊

ReplyDeleteWe do need the trail open, the trail was rough west of sunset bench and sounds like it may be better now . Looking forward to hiking the trail!
