East Lake Sammamish Trail Development
- Status
- Funded in 2011
The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks will use this grant to develop 1 mile of trail from Northwest Gilman Boulevard in central Issaquah to Southeast 56th Street along an abandoned railroad. The paved trail will be 12 feet wide with 2-foot-wide gravel shoulders on each side. The County will add a retaining wall and install landscaping, fences, signs, and traffic controls. This is the second phase of a multi-phase project to complete an 11-mile trail corridor, which runs the length of the east side of Lake Sammamish, connecting the cities of Redmond, Sammamish, and Issaquah. This trail is a vital part of a 44-mile, multi-modal, non-motorized trail system extending from Puget Sound in Seattle to the Cascade foothills. This project will replace a gravel path, which is approved for use through 2015. Supporters of this project include Issaquah, Sammamish, Redmond, Cascade Bicycle Club, Bicycle Alliance of Washington, Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, and Transportation Choices Coalition. The County will contribute more than $1 million from a federal grant and a voter-approved levy.
