Getting down to Town Lake

The river looks pretty dry, but the boat dock is easy to see, now.

The RiverWalk is on the left, and the ramp down to the boat dock is on the right. A dry TownLake would make it hard to float much this August.

This stair way will provide a faster way down to the boat dock.

The walk way begins to take shape.

The boat dock will be below the heavy equipment in the distance. The photo was taken from the river, right below the start of the River Walk, looking down stream.

Construction at the bend

Looking at the 'road-bend' construction. The bridge to court-house square is in the distance. The River Walk from Heritage Park's pavilion to the place I'm standing can be visualized with a little imagination. The 'road' down in the river is for equipment to get down to the bottom of the slope. The heavy equipment is building up the river bank and needs some way to get in and out of the river. Widening the bank to make room for the River Walk is a big project..












Looking at the 'road-bend' from the other side. The Paluxy weir is down stream (NE), in this general direction.












'Construction central': the equipment and construction materials have to have a home somewhere.

Progress on future boat dock

The boat dock will be here. The bank is being thickened to allow construction of the River Walk at the top of the bank.

Work along the river edge

Work along the river edge. The bridge to the court house square is in the distance.

Trail cleared

Over the weekend, I walked from Heritage Park to the weir and back. A lot had changed, and I took too many photos.

It looked like all the clearing had been completed. A temporary road has been built below the narrow portion of trail adjacent to Heritage park. The temporary road is right on the river. The temporary fence at the end of Grand has been removed, allowing construction to proceed all the way from Heritage Park to the Paluxy weir.

July 4th holiday weekend

Some clearing took place last week, but nothing seemed to call for a photo.
