Iron Bridge Update
Jenn Johnson, Manager, Parks, Recreation and Culture

Jenn Johnson, Manager of Parks, Recreation and Culture provided an update on the Iron Bridge. The bridge is structurally suitable, however, this bridge leads into two parks so it would not be recommended for ORV use from a Parks and Recreation perspective.
