Abingdon Trail Repairs

At last night's Abingdon Town Council meeting, the Council was set to reject bids previously sent out for resurfacing of sections of the trail as all had come in above the budgeted amount ($110K as I remember). Assistant Town Manager/Parks and Recreation Director Chris Johnson, however, recommended that the Council consider an alternative from the low bidder to complete repairs on some portions and that town employees would do the rest. After some debate, the group agreed to his recommendation. The specific areas of repair were in a memo that was before the Council but wasn't shared with the audience. No word on when work will begin or how long it will take to complete.
