Sections of trail shut down for upgrades

Upgrades to sections of the Middleton Mountain Trail will get underway on Monday, May 4, which will have an impact on trail users.

The project will require a full closure of the trail between Mt. Ida Drive and the top of the staircase.

Work will include the re-routing of existing trail sections, replacement of current cribbed steps and staircase with more durable materials, as well as the addition of handrails and fencing.

The upgrades will provide trail users with a safer and more enjoyable climb to the top of the mountain.
