Volunteers from the South Hills Friends of the Montour Trail began work on October 15 on a new section of the Montour Trail between Pleasant Street, South Park Township and the Port Authority Library Station.

The photograph shows the right of way on October 16 (looking west), which adjoins the Library Station parking area.
Volunteers were clearing brush, laying silt socks and removing old railroad ties from the site (a landscaped former railroad right of way) in preparation to begin trail construction. Given good weather the Montour Trail Council hopes to complete the 1,200-foot trail section before the end of the 2018 construction season.
The South Hills Friends are responsible for maintenance of the Montour Trail between Library and Clairton. Individuals interested in the Montour Trail are encouraged to attend. Additional information concerning the trail, including South Hills Friends contact information, may be obtained on the Montour Trail web site www.montourtrail.org. Questions may be directed to info@montourtrail.org.
The Friends would like to thank the generous donors who made our October 13 Penny Day fundraiser the most successful in our 13-year history.
