When Does the 18th Avenue Trailhead Reopen?
2026-11-09 · Delia Bayna, REALTOR® · eXp Realty, LLC | Luxury · 2 min read
Is the trailhead open?
The hilltop parking lot and trailhead are set to reopen in November 2026, according to the city's North Bench Pump Station page. The city says the date can change with weather. Until then, it asks people to use 681 18th Avenue and go in through the north or west bike park entrances.
What is being built?
A new pump station for the North Bench drinking water system. The city expects it to be running in late fall or early winter 2026. The old station is taken out of service then.
Will my water be shut off?
Possibly, for a short time. The city plans waterline connections that need temporary shutdowns in late fall 2026. The city has not posted dates yet, and they can move with the weather.
Where can I park?
Parking on 18th Avenue is limited Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM, while the work goes on. Questions go to the project line: 855-925-2801.
