SW Trails trail inspections Feb 20, 21, 22, 23, 24

SWTrails is leading trail inspection visits in the next couple of weeks. We will do a combination of travel by car and walking to see all the sites in a few visits. I have tried to group the tours by adjacent neighborhoods, but there are some exceptions.   If you cannot make the listed times and want to do a self tour, I will be happy to supply you with a marked up map showing things you may want to work on.

Here are shown by trail a starting list. Please bring added projects you think should be considered. Some segments serve more than one trail; I have referenced the overlaps, or tried to do so. At the bottom of this note, I have listed those projects that are in the Barbur Corridor, a related but separate discussion issue.

All trips will start from home of Don Baack, 6495 SW Burlingame Place. Each is estimated to last for 2 hours. Please call 503-246-2088 if you need more information. It would be helpful if you could email me of your intent to be on one or more tours. I am hoping to have our family car available, but that could change. As we complete each tour, we will write up our views of what needs to be done to improve our trail system and access to transit.
