DALLAS CENTER, IOWA - It's been fun witnessing the flurry of activity the RRVT extension into Dallas Center has already created. The restaurants in town can likely attest to the extra revenues trail users are already bringing to town, even with just the short six mile stretch that's been completed from Waukee to Dallas Center this past autumn. It's not unusual to see several bikes parked outside the local cafe and ice cream shop at any given time. I anticipate this is only a taste of what's to come, once the entire loop of the Raccoon River Valley Trail is completed through Dallas and Guthrie Counties by this coming autumn. It's exciting to think about what other businesses might be opening in the small communities along the trail in the coming years catering to trail users as Central Iowa continues to become a destination for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.
