Two Hillside Trails Should Be Open in Mid-June

At a briefing about a month ago I asked Monrovia City Manager Laurie Lile when the trails in the Hillside area would be open to the public. She said one trail would open in about a month. Since it has been a bit over a month, thought I'd get an update. Here is her response ...

"Although when we last spoke, I thought things would move more rapidly, we are now looking at opening both the Sleepy Hollow and Highland Access points in mid-June.  On Tuesday evening, the Community Services Commission approved the design for the entry signage, with a few minor changes, and the contractor is now approved to manufacture the signs.  The gates, trash receptacles, and mutt mitt dispensers have already been constructed and are ready for installation.  They will be installed with the signage prior to officially opening the access points.  I do not have any updates on the time frames for opening the Ridgeside and Cloverleaf accesses at this time."
