Took a bike ride on the MMP along that area this morning. Hopefully the safety of that section road is being assessed.
Observed along the 2 mile stretch of MBT, there are dozens, maybe hundreds of large, broken/ dead/ diseased trees at the forest edge within striking distance of the road. They are on Coleman USP property.
Many are leaning towards the road and some have large branches over the road.
Looks like the roots of those trees were disturbed when recently widening the road and adding drainage ditches increasing the likelihood for a tree falling.
When school is in session, traffic is often stalled /backed up bumper to bumper taking children to school on that section in the early morning.
