City Council approves Willowbrooke Trail paving project
The Oakdale City Council awarded a bid Monday for the second phase of improvements to the Willowbrooke Trail, with paving work set to begin in August and wrap up by September.
The council's decision moves forward a key infrastructure project aimed at enhancing the city's trail system. The paving work is expected to improve accessibility and safety for residents who use the popular recreational path.
Beyond the trail project, the council also highlighted several upcoming community events and programs. The Oakdale Farmers Market continues its weekly Wednesday operations from 2 to 6 p.m. at the City Hall parking lot, running through October 8 with local produce and goods. The Summer Concert Series is also in full swing, with musician Rafe Carlson performing Wednesday, July 30, at 7 p.m. at the Walton Park Bandshell.
The council also informed residents about two additional opportunities. Washington County is offering free mattress and box spring recycling through September 8 at the County Environmental Center. Households can register online to dispose of up to four items at no cost, though the program may end early if capacity is reached. Additionally, residents are encouraged to participate in Night to Unite on Tuesday, August 5, either by organizing neighborhood gatherings or attending a free hot dog cookout at Walton Park hosted by the Oakdale Area Chamber of Commerce. The event aims to strengthen community connections and support crime prevention efforts.
