WATER DOG LAKE LOOP TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS

December 9, 2009

The City of Belmont is working in partnership with local volunteers to realign the Water Dog Lake Loop Trail. The improvements will make the trail easier for hikers to navigate, especially during wet weather. There is an existing trail that goes around the lake, but it was built below the high water mark which makes it diffi cult to pass in spots, even for hiking. Thanks to a diligent group of volunteers andBelmont Parks and Recreation staff, the new trail will be a minimum of 15 feet above the waterline of Water Dog Lake, which will allow year round use. The existing trail along the far west end of the lake will be re-vegetated to improve the quality of the wetlands. In addition to realignment, the project includes four small bike/pedestrian bridges, which will assist users to cross drainages and the spillway.

So far volunteers have finished realigning half of the trail, but the remaining half and the bridges need additional work. When the realignment is completed the trail will be above the high water mark, and wide enough for strollers, which will make it a great destination for hiking, biking, and family outings.

To volunteer and help finish the improvements contact: Passion Trail Bikes Belmont Parks and Recreation 650-620-9798, 650-595-7441 or email patty@passiontrailbikes.com parksrec@belmont.gov

December 8, 2009

Hi everyone, due to the seating of a new City Council at the December 8th City Council meeting, the City of Belmont will be rescheduling the 3rd Annual presentation of our Beautiful Belmont Awards Program to the meeting of January 12th. This recognition program is designed to acknowledge individuals, businesses, and community groups who have enhanced the City’s community by making significant exterior improvements to their Belmont properties. Eligible improvements include the enhancement, upgrading, reconstruction, or replacement of a property, making it more visually appealing as well as enriching the surrounding neighborhood or district.

The City encourages everyone, including property owners themselves, to submit nominations throughout the year. The deadline for 2009 nominations has been extended to November 30, 2009, given the new presentation date. Nomination forms must include the property location, a brief description of the improvements that have been made and how it has made an impact on the surrounding community. Before and after photos are appreciated, but are not required.

A Judging Committee will review the nominations and select properties which best demonstrate pride in Belmont’s community. Winners will be recognized at the January 12, 2010 City Council meeting.

For more information on the Beautiful Belmont Awards Program, or to obtain a nomination form, please call the City Manager‘s office at 595-7408 or look on the City of Belmont website at www.belmont.gov.
