Weed Control on TransCanada Trail
The Greater Bragg Creek Trails Association (GBCTA) is pleased to report that weed control was completed in September 2019 using steam on most of the West Bragg Creek (WBC) TransCanada (TCT) Trail from the Hamlet of Bragg Creek to WBC and on the Banded Peak Trail.
The GBCTA would like thank Carey and Mandi from H2O Weed Control (www.h2oweedcontrol.com/) for completing this work including donating 22 hours of weed steaming time to the GBCTA.
The GBCTA plans to use this non herbicide method of weed control in the future on our community trails in Rocky View County (RVC).
New Pedestrian Bridge on TransCanada Trail
The WBC TCT Pedestrian bridge project (near the Wild Rose subdivision) commenced construction in August 2019 with AM MacKay completing all project in-stream work in Bragg Creek from August 16-31. The installation of concrete piles encountered unanticipated very high water flows in September, and the project was shut down pending engineering redesign work.
The project will proceed once RVC approval of a new shallow concrete foundation design is obtained and the work is awarded to a contractor by the GBCTA. The GBCTA is striving to complete this project in the fall of 2019.
