The Wolfe Wildlife trail replacement project began this week. The contractor is completing layout and preparing to mobilize to site. Very soon, the contractor will be closing access to the pathway at the following locations:

  • 107th & Long (West corner of HL Richards Parking Lot)
  • Pedestrian Bridge at 107th & Laramie (Little Wolfe)
  • Ramp at Eagle Ridge Tot Lot, (Tomcin Trail & Jodan Drive)
  • Pedestrian Bridge at Wolfe Wildlife (109th & Lawler)
  • 109th & Lavergne Avenue

The pathway will remain closed while construction work is ongoing to ensure the work is completed safely. Once construction fencing is installed, tree removal and excavation will begin. The entire pathway will be closed to all patrons, and NO access points will be open anywhere along the path.

We understand this work will be disruptive to daily activities, and wanted to provide this update before the path is completely closed. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to replace and update this pathway.
