We're hoping to attend the meeting, or at least send in
our comments. But I have a question: why might this close 
the WST intermittently? I didn't think that construction 
traffic would cross anywhere over the WST? Wouldn't they 
access the area down the Cardiac Hill By-pass trail?

Ha. So at least this idea was put forward. Interesting.
But handily pushed under the rug? Hmmm.

If you don't find it, I'll get it tonight. I wrote it down
when I was at the trailhead in Cool, but it's in the car
with my husband right now.
