The city of Pleasant Hill broke ground on the Youngstown Trail March 21.
The project will be the first phase of the project that will connect the community to the Central Iowa Trail System.
“Metro-wide trails are a huge importance,” said Madeline Sturms, senior city planner. “The entire metro is working to become the trails capital of the world.”
The project will link the city of Pleasant Hill to the Gay Lea Wilson Trail, helping residents of the community connect to the trail system.
