In a news release, the City of Medicine Hat explains the work is meant to address ice buildup on the pathway, making it safer for trail users in below-freezing temperatures. The trail will be excavated to replace an existing culvert. Paving and erosion control measures will follow and then rehabilitation of the disturbed landscape.
