2.2 More Miles Of Trail For CdA

The city of Coeur d’Alene is grading a dirt trail along the Spokane River now that it owns the old Burlington Northern Railroad right of way. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Anthony took The Press on a driving tour of the 2.2-mile trail from Riverstone to Mill River Thursday morning. “It’s still a crude trail,” Anthony said. “But we thought now that the city owns it, the public should have access to it.” Anthony said the city Streets Department took a day and half to start grading the trail to take out potholes and mounds of rock to make the trail accessible to bike walkers and joggers. “It is for non-motorized use only,” he said, adding the city is going to put up signs and bollards to ensure the trail is only used by bicyclists and pedestrians/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press.
