Olympic Discovery Trail - Dry Creek Bridge
- Status
- Funded in 2009
Port Angeles will use this grant to design and build a pedestrian bridge over Dry Creek, and improve 1.8 miles of the Olympic Discovery Trail. Work will include adding parking at one trail head, midway along the trail section. The Olympic Discovery Trail eventually will extend from Port Townsend to the Pacific Ocean. Most of the trail is in place through Port Angeles, except for a route to the Elwha River, about 2 miles west Port Angeles. The bridge over Dry Creek will make it easier to reach the river. Trail users currently travel a maze of narrow, two-lane roads through an industrial area to get to the other side of Dry Creek. The city also will upgrade the trail between 10th Street and Lower Elwha Road to make it accessible to people with disabilities. Partners include the Peninsula Trails Coalition and the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe. The city will contribute $379,746 in cash and donations of cash and labor. (08-1314)
