We were delighted to report that in 2024 the city’s Parks and Facilities group replaced one of the small bridges on the main trail in the Caldwell-Carver Conservation Area.

Now, even better news. The other decaying bridge has also been replaced. Like the 2024 version, it has been expanded and given a ‘jut out’ viewing area on the lake side.

Now it is easier for small children and adults alike to look for living creatures in the water while walkers have room to pass behind them. There is even a sitting/contemplation/viewing bench on the far side.

In times of municipal budget restraint, it is wonderful to know city staff, who appreciate the conservation area, are able to find the resources to have this bridge replacement done.
