Trail parking lot to reopen Friday

| July 29, 2021 1:00 AM

SANDPOINT — The parking lot at the Pend d'Oreille Bay Trailhead in Sandpoint will reopen for public parking beginning at noon Friday.

While there may be some short intermittent closures to accommodate material unloading at a construction site in the area in the upcoming weeks, Sandpoint City Administrator Jennifer Stapleton said generally, the parking lot will be open.

Construction has been occurring in the immediate area and the weekday parking lot closure was only allowed after careful consideration to protect public safety and ensure emergency access to the trail itself and the city’s drinking water treatment facility, Stapleton said.
