Interurban Trail & Trailhead
- Status
- Funded in 2008
Edgewood will use this grant to begin developing the city's segment of the regional Interurban Trail. Work will include building a trailhead park at 114th Avenue East and a .83-mile section of trail from that point to Military Road. The trail will be a paved, 12-foot-wide pathway with wetland and habitat enhancements placed adjacent to the trail. Edgewood will construct a wildlife and habitat viewing shelter, an interpretive display, restrooms, parking, seating, picnic areas, and distinctive trailhead signs. Improvements to the 1.44-acre trailhead park include adding a parking lot, lighting, covered picnic tables, benches, informational kiosk, drinking fountain, and restrooms. Edgewood's segment is the missing link in the Interurban-Green River Trail System. The project is supported by the cities of Milton and Pacific, and Pierce and King Counties. Edgewood will contribute $714,920 in cash, conservation futures, and donated labor.
