6 - Trail Work Days     Some of the ways that our volunteers have helped to prepare the trail for construction include disposing of rubbish, clearing and burning brush along the trail corridor, and working with local authorities to help plan and coordinate construction logistics.  Any work that we can accomplish will reduce the cost of construction, resulting in more miles of paved trail.

To date, six 30-cubic yard dumpsters have been filled and removed from the trail corridor.  FMCPT members constructed barricades at each major intersection to prevent further dumping.

FMCPT members performed drainage work at the Glade Run Road trail intersection.  Thanks to ADS Corporation in London for the donation of tile for the Glade Run Road project.  Drainage work was also required at the Wilson Road trail intersection.  Thanks to FMCPT members Dan and Amy Ansell, who donated the tile for this drainage improvement.  Thanks also to Levin Hutson and his crew from the Madison County Engineer's office for their work in installing the tile.

FMCPT member Gary Stites has provided valuable services with his bulldozer to clear a path for construction crews to access the trail corridor.  His work saved thousands of dollars on the final construction bids.  And finally, thanks to our many local residents who hauled numerous truckloads of wood from the trail corridor.
