The Snow Shoe Rails to trails has 5 gates with bollard width of 61"
and 8 gates with bollard width of 62". We have been getting a lot of
request to increase the bollard width to 65". A lot of families are now
getting 4 seated utvs and need more room to pass through the bollards
and support the SSRT and it's businesses.
Since
we are a family oriented trail, we have decided to widen several of the
gates. A motion was made and passed at last night's SSRT meeting to
hire Brooks Welding of Pleasant Gap to widen several of the bollards and
make a gate repair to another. Once the work is completed, we will
evaluate this year how the wider gates are working with our membership.
Then, if the width is a successful move, we will look at widening the
others next year.
The gates that will be widen this year is:
Both gates in Gillentown Trailhead
Route 144 Gate
Number 10 Gate
Clarence Gate
The trail will also widen the bollard towards Moshannon Community Center as time & volunteers permit.
We
are waiting to hear from Brooks Welding when the repairs to the gates
can be made. So, we will post on our web site and face book when the
repairs begin.
Thank you to our family members that have brought this to our attention.
