A popular nature trail along Arcade Creek in Carmichael is about to become a little more difficult to access.<\/p>\n
For decades, nature lovers and hikers on the Jo Smith Nature Trail have crossed over a sewer pipe that spans Arcade Creek near American River College.<\/p>\n
Students who live nearby also use the crossing to get to the college.<\/p>\n
“I just want to see it left open,” neighbor and avid hiker Siobhan Hutton said. “It’s beautiful, many people enjoy it, many people use it to go to school, I would just like to see it left open. I haven’t seen it harm anybody.”<\/p>\n
When the pipe was installed in the 1960’s, railings were attached for safety reasons. The railings have been gone for years.<\/p>\n
The Sacramento Area Sewer District owns the pipe and has decided the crossing is dangerous and will fence it off next month.<\/p>\n
