The walking trail in the Village of Hawkins goes around a 38.95-acre wetland that is located within Zone A flood plain. District Property Management has been notified by the Developer that the water level from the wetland, which had impeded the use of the Hawkins Walking Trail, has now adequately subsided to allow the construction of improvements.
Permanent repairs to the walking path began on Mar. 9 and aim to be completed by April 1. This includes raising it above the encroachment of high water levels from the wetland. For safety reasons, it is important to keep the work area free of pedestrian traffic while improvements are being made. Villagers should pay attention to the barricades that will be placed on the path to redirect walkers and hikers.
If anyone has any questions or would like more information, contact District Property Management at 352-753-4022.
