Railroad Trail/Alabama St. Overpass
- Status
- Funded in 2002
This development project installs an universally accessible trail overpass for a high-use interurban trail. Pedestrian and bike traffic will be able to safely cross over one of the city's most heavily traveled arterial streets. The Railroad Trail is a popular, heavily utilized 10' wide trail that runs 3.5 miles from the east side of the city to downtown. The trail connects several neighborhoods with two elementary schools, a major shopping area, four parks and one natural area. The trail grade is currently accessible except where it crosses Alabama Street. This project is one of the most requested improvements by citizens of Bellingham.
