Water main installation from Waukee east means construction near the Raccoon River Valley Trail, but the trail won’t be blocked

WAUKEE, Iowa, May 19, 2008 – Construction work is scheduled adjacent to the Raccoon River Valley Trail here from now through August 1, although the trail will not be blocked and use of it should not be hindered.

The project by Xenia Rural Water District includes installation of a water main from Waukee east to 156th Street in Clive. The company reported that “the trail will not be disturbed and there will be no obstructions on the path, however heavy equipment will be operated near the path,” so “caution should be used when in the vicinity.”

Welcome

RaccoonRiverValleyTrail.org is your online guide to a 56-mile-long paved trail along the branches of the beautiful Raccoon River through Greene, Guthrie and Dallas Counties.

You will experience the communities of Jefferson, Cooper, Herndon, Yale, Panora, Linden, Redfield, Adel and Waukee. And, going east, the RRVT connects with the extensive trail system in Iowa’s capital city of Des Moines

Thus, your trail experience will take you from a very vibrant metropolitan area out into some great small towns, which are located in one of the most productive agricultural regions of the world. Along your way you’ll find the food, beverages, entertainment, scenery, accommodations and ambience that will make every visit to the RRVT a memorable one.

We expect to be adding a 33-mile-long “North Loop,” with much of the work happening in 2011 and 2012. That will include the communities of Dallas Center, Minburn, Perry, Dawson and Jamaica.

All that is why we believe the RRVT is “becoming one of America’s best recreational trails.”
