from the Moscow end of the Latah Trail is <i style=""><span
style="font-style: italic;">tantalizingly</span></i> close. Latah
County has received bids
necessary to begin paving this summer. Unfortunately, the lowest of
those bids
exceeds the amount allowed by the Idaho Transportation Department, and
the
County <span class="GramE">was left</span> to come up with the
difference by June
28. We are pleased and relieved that the Commissioners found room in
their
budget to meet that immediate need, but they need our help. The Latah
Trail
Foundation would like to reimburse the County for $5,653.20 expended
for that
purpose, then surpass it to provide a buffer for contingencies and to
extend
the paving and prep work as far as possible this summer. We are asking
for your
donation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

to the generosity of trail supporters like you, the Latah
Trail Foundation recently provided $17,452 in matching funds for a
State Parks
grant to pave the second mile of trail from Troy City Park. On June 21,
following a successful spring fundraiser, the Foundation contributed
$10,000 to
the County for two new bicycle-pedestrian bridges already completed
near the
west end of the trail and an additional $22,000 to defray Phase I
construction
costs. The plan for this summer is to open up new bicycle-pedestrian
routes by
paving approximately one mile of the trail from Moscow to Mill Road and
<span class="GramE">compacting</span> a rock base over approximately
three more miles,
to Buffalo Hump. With completion of Phase I, users will be able to
walk, run,
or roll from Moscow’s Paradise Path to Carmichael, <span class="SpellE">Lenville</span>,
and Mill Roads and <span class="SpellE">Palouse</span> River Drive.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
