Flintridge Expansion<\/strong>
\n\tAs previously indicated, GHORBA has great news for the Flintridge Trail system.\u00c2\u00a0 In conjunction with the Spring Creek Greenway project, Flintridge will be undergoing a large expansion, doubling in size!\u00c2\u00a0 The expansion is made possible through a $100,000 Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grant sponsored and created by GHORBA and strongly partnered with Montgomery County Precinct 3 through matching funds.\u00c2\u00a0 The funds will be utilized to add up to an additional six miles of natural surface trail and to improve the sustainability of an additional six miles of existing natural surface trails.\u00c2\u00a0 The end result will be a Flintridge trail system spanning all the way to I-45 on the northern side of Spring Creek.\u00c2\u00a0 Construction will not start until a bid process is completed and contracts are in place with contractors, this is estimated to occur by the end of 2012.\u00c2\u00a0 GHORBA is very excited for this upcoming project with special recognition to GHORBA Board Member-At-Large Bill Begnaud for being the driving force behind the success of this project.<\/p>\n

This Courier Article <\/a>has additional information on the project.<\/p>\n
