HUMBOLDT Construction has officially started at the new trailhead in Humboldt which will include cabins, a bike barn, along with a camping area for bicyclists.
Beth Barlow, who is spearheading the project, said that footers for the cabins have been poured and work on the barn have begun. She is hoping the cabins and barn are completed by late spring.
Up until now, most of the work we have done has been on the legal side, getting the city to annex the land, she said. When we started working on the barn it really felt like we were actually doing something.
Barlow said the barn will feature restrooms, a kitchen area, and will be air conditioned, giving bike riders a place to cool off after hitting the trails.
She also said they have been renovating the house on the property, and hope to have a caretaker move in over the spring. Workers have also been removing trees in the new camping area.
I hate to give timelines because I have been a part of several projects like this and you just never know what all you are going to encounter along the way, Barlow said. But we are hoping to be finished by late spring.
