Thanks to Steve Young for sending in some photos of the new Bondurant trailhead.
The first plans and
renderings were completed back in 2010, just in time for RAGBRAI.
Geographically, it is just north of South First Street, which was the center of
activity back in 2010. It sits on the old railroad right of way, and the
shelter’s design is based off of the Bondurant railroad depot that used to sit
on almost the exact same spot.
The paving was done this last summer, and ground
was broken on the shelter in November 2012, after the city received a gracious
donation to fund the construction.
The finished project will have restrooms,
picnic tables, and historical displays telling the story of the city and the
rail line. It will be a hub of the regional trail system, with connections to
the Chichaqua Valley and Gay Lea Wilson trails and a future extension of the CVT
to Four Mile Creek.
