After being closed for more than a year, Golden Gardens Drive opened today.

Record rainfall in December of 2007 caused a portion of Golden Gardens Drive to collapse, leaving the road impassable. During its closure, the only route to Golden Gardens Park was on Seaview Avenue. We took this picture last week after construction crews repaved the roadway and installed a new guardrail. Crews also built a retaining wall and replanted the hillside. Final touches, like bicycle markings and signage will be added this spring.
