A new step up to Mount Dewey
The Reid Street stairs were reopened to the public on June 9 after a total rebuild by Scott Brown, who was contracted by the Parks and Recreation Department for the work. The project started last fall but winter weather forced a pause to the job, which Brown said included adding 30 cubic yards of rock beneath the stairs as well as pouring concrete for several posts. The stairs provide the shortest route from downtown to the Mount Dewey overlook.
