Beginning Monday, part of a popular walking and biking trail in Charlotte’s South End neighborhood will close temporarily because of nearby construction, Charlotte Area Transit System officials said.

Most of the Rail Trail section between Tremont Avenue and Remount Road is scheduled to reopen on Thursday, July 18, according to a CATS news release this week .

A small section fronting a development on Hawkins Street is expected to remain closed through the summer, CATS officials said.

Signs will steer walkers and bicyclists away from the construction and back to an open part of the trail.

A private developer is adding ballast curb, fencing, landscaping, lighting and bike racks during the closure, according to CATS.

US seeks 15 years prison for disgraced former NJ senator Menendez
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Robert Menendez, the disgraced former U.S. senator from New Jersey, should spend at least 15 years in prison following his corruption conviction, after he betrayed voters by putting his office "up for sale" in exchange for bribes, U.S. prosecutors said. The recommendation was filed on Thursday night in Manhattan federal court, a week after Menendez's lawyers pleaded for leniency, citing the 71-year-old's age, decades of public service, charitable works, devotion to family, and financial and professional ruin. Probation officers recommended a 12-year prison term, which Menendez's lawyers described as an effective "death sentence."
