Councilman Scott Boehme said there continues to be problems with people driving on the new walking path on Pleasant View Drive and he observed tire marks on it.

Councilman Michael Humphreys said city employees used a backhoe in one area to remove snow and it tore up the asphalt. He said he has also seen delivery trucks to the reception center on Pleasant View Drive using the walking path as a shoulder to turn around.

(ANTHONY SOUFFLE/Standard-Examiner) Floodwaters from the Weber River surge onto Serge Simmons Field, the former home of the Ogden Raptors, knocking down the fencing and eroding the riverbank Friday. The bicycle path on the park’s east side has also been destroyed. Because the baseball field is still in bad shape, tournaments and city recreation teams have had to find other parks in Ogden on which to play. Officials say they don’t know if the park will be restored next year because of the cost and ramifications of government regulations regarding the alteration of the river’s flow.
