This past year has been very trying on the trail workers. Our trails were hit with near record rain falls, floods, devastating winds, working on a new trail system, and cutting in required re-routes.
Here are some of the accomplishments of 2008...

Massive cleanup at Lake Manawa after flood and wind storm
Reroutes and new bridges at Swanson Park
Large reroute at Lewis & Clark Monument
Completed work on flood prone areas at Wilderness Park
Tweaking and cleanup at Jewell Park
Reroutes and repairs at Platte River
Trail expansion at Branched Oak
Work with owners to establish new trail at Calvin Crest
Consistent trail signage across several trail systems
Established relationship with Friends of Wilderness Park
Instituted the THOR Trails Blog
New information Kiosk at Tranquility Park
Table at Bob Kerrey Bridge opening
Advocacy including Omaha Bike Summit, Rapid City Walk & Bike Summit, Omaha Welcom Luncheon, and National Trails Symposium
Our trail workers, all vounteers, have done a supurb job. Thanks for all of the hours you have put in.
