As part of the City’s ongoing monitoring of the escarpment during spring freshet, sections of the East Airport Access Road Trail have been temporarily closed. This includes small connector trails within the area shown on the map.
Spring snow melt is causing localized erosion in the area. The City made the decision to close trails to keep trail users safe. The Black Street stairs remain open.
Active monitoring of the escarpment includes the use of a slope scanner, regular engineering inspections, drone surveys and other measures to ensure water seepage and potential slides can be managed in a way that prioritizes public safety.
Changes in trail status and traffic flow may be altered as monitoring continues.

We thank the public for their cooperation.
