  1. Today, preliminary work on the pedestrian trail linking Gallatin and Galloway Streets NE across Fort Circle Park has begun. According to Ben, Autumn General Contractors, LLC, the area will be cleared of brush and tall grass only.

    Due to the long delay, this area will be re-surveyed in early August 2021. Thereafter, work on this project may begin. So, stay tuned for the next installment of this long-running saga.
