Repairing the half mile section of bike trail near the bridge at Cal Expo has taken months. Bicycle commuters and pedestrians have been forced to take a detour since the March 15 fire.

"It has been quite a while that trail users have been inconvenienced. We're just glad that it's finally completed," said Dave Lydick, deputy director of the county parks department.

He acknowledged that the fix took a bit longer than some folks hoped.

While rules were waved to speed the track reconstruction, fire cleanup and trail repaving required permits and authorization from several state agencies, Lydick said. [Sacramento Bee]

  The politicians and wealthy landowners who would profit from a dam project will never give up. We will need to remain vigilant to ensure that this porkbarrel project is never built.
