[Vision2020] Latah Trail

[Ted Moffett]

After the couple of snowstorms we recently had, the temperatures have been
below freezing most all day and night, thus snow cover remains all over the
Palouse, including the parts of the Latah Trail which are not snow plowed.

The Latah Trail is plowed regularly inside Moscow City limits, and out east
to Mill Rd.  From there on going east there is no regular plowing, though
in recent winters someone has often plowed from Cornwall Rd. to the Latah
landfill entry drive, I suspect by a local who wants to use the trail to
walk their dog, etc. and not by any official organization.

A few times in recent winters someone did snow plow the Latah Trail all he
way from Mill Rd. east to at least Cornwall Rd.  Who I don't know...

It would be wonderful if just once a week in winter the Latah Trail was
plowed of snow from Moscow to Troy, for runners, walkers. bicycles,
strollers, dog walkers, etc.

If it had been plowed after the last snow storm we had before this recent
long spell of cold and dry sunny weather, the trail would have remained
open from snow the whole time.

Anyway, maybe there is concern about damaging the trail surface via
plowing, or an assumption there is not enough demand for use of the trail
in winter to justify the resources to snow plow the trail.
