Luckily for us our local politicians and policy makers feel a little differently about the situation and were willing to place our project of converting the Pioneer Water Users Association ditch to a pipeline and multi-use non-motorized trail. Unfortunately we aren't as shovel ready as we had hoped and we had to remove it from their reccommended list for the stimulus package. Since then we have continued our work to move this project forward and met with the PWUA board last week to discuss how we may both work more effectively to make this a success. Seeing the previous quote made me want to remind all of you how important it is for us to try and develop that conciousness of the benefit of trails.
