Rail Trail Section Around South Capitol Station Completed

 If you missed Tim Roger's email, the S. Capitol section of the Rail Trail between Cordova and Alta Vista is complete. It was not my first choice as to where to spend bike facility money, but it does finish up a location that was a little confusing to newbies.

In addition, I ran into a lieutenant of a private security organization patrolling the Acequia Trail just southwest of the St. Francis underpass. Apparently in addition to the Plaza, the city has contracted private security to patrol the Rail Trail and Railyard including parts of the Acequia Trail at least as far as the underpass.

Looking south at Alta Vista. Looks like you are about to ride into a crummy little sidewalk but the trail jogs to your right after you cross the road and over the tracks and then continues south towards 2nd Street.

Closer look to the west at the jog across the tracks at Alta Vista. Complete with railroad crossing gates. The pavement needs work.
