Beloit City Council Awards Contract for Big Hill Bike Path

At last night’s Beloit City Council meeting, the board awarded the contract for Big Hill Bike Path. This project will add an asphalt surface to an existing section of the multi-use trail in the lower section of Big Hill Park. The path will be 10 feet wide and include a “split-rail" wood fencing along each side. This section of the trail is the last section needed in order to complete over 1.3 miles of paved multi-use path between Big Hill Center and Walters Rd. The Engineering Division recommended awarding the contract to Rock Road Companies, Inc, in the amount of $95,410. Funding for the protect is available in the Capital Improvement Budget, and the city may receive a small donation from the Rock River Trail Coalition.
