Free Screening Set for

The movement screen can identify abnormal movement patterns which could cause future pain and impaired functional mobility.
To schedule an appointment call Gio Villanueva, PT, DPT, ATC, clinic director, Mt. Edgecumbe Hospital Physical Therapy Department, at 966-8576. The 2015-2016 Silver Saver card holders have priority followed by Hames Center members as appointment times become available.
Trailhead Gets Parking Area
The Baranof Street trailhead to the lower Gavan trail has been rebuilt and now can accommodate parking for five vehicles.
The renovation was done by Troy’s Excavation as employees of Sitka Trail Works. Work was completed May 14 and paid for by a Federal Lands Access Program grant to the city.
The trailhead renovation and other improvements to the lower Gavan trail were done in conjunction with a larger project to make the Cross Trail multi-use trail extend to Baranof Street and eventually replace the lower Gavan boardwalk trail. That trail will remain in use through August.
The public should take note that the new gravel trail being constructed to the east of the old boardwalk is not yet complete for through traffic to the Cross Trail, or to Pherson Street. Trail users are asked to use caution while the trail is under construction.
For more information contact the Sitka Trail Works office at 747-7244 or CBS Parks and Recreation at 747-1852
