In particular, the looped back trails had been identified as a potential hazard that could cause injury to anyone using the trails.
The Governing Body has approved a contract offer made by the Virginia-based Finley Asphalt and Concrete, a company that has improved public and private trails in Prince William and Fairfax counties.
