Interurban Trail Edmonds
- Status
- Funded in 2009
The Edmonds Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Department will use this grant to design and build a .47-mile trail on an old inter-city rail line that was part of a nation-wide system of lines operated from the 1890s to the 1930s. The trail lies along beautiful view corridors of Lake Ballinger and the Mathay-Ballinger Park. Work will include paving a 12-foot-wide path and installing landscaping, benches, signs, bicycle racks, a shelter, and an information kiosk. The shelter will serve pedestrian, bicycle, and skate trail users. Interpretive signs will be incorporated into the shelter to depict the historic Lake Ballinger Trolley Station and tell the story of the heyday of the electric interurban trolley system. This proposed trail will be a vital link to the Interurban Trail, Puyallup River Trail, and the Foothills Trail. This is the missing link north and beyond to the Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, and Everett Interurban Trails and south to the recently completed Shoreline Interurban Trail and on to Seattle and King County linkages. The city will contribute $578,080. (08-1697)
