Shoreline Interurban Trail Crossing
- Status
- Funded in 2003
The Interurban Trail is a heavily-used regional facility in northwest King County being developed in segments by the communities of Shoreline, Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Snohomish County. The City of Shoreline's portion of the Interurban Trail will run parallel to Aurora Avenue North. The trail follows a utility right-of-way to the Snohomish County line, where it ties to the City of Edmonds' trail system. The City seeks to build a bridge for safe travel along a key part of its portion of the Interurban Trail. To provide continuity and safety, the elevated bridge structure will cross the Aurora Avenue (SR-99) right-of-way at the intersection of North 155th and Aurora. Unless a crossing is built, trail users will have to travel over twelve lanes of traffic to rejoin the trail. Shoreline's section of Aurora has been identified as a high accident corridor by the Washington State Department of Transportation, and a bridge would increase safety for trail users and vehicles alike. The Shoreline Interurban Trail runs through an area of significant residential population, currently about 5,000 per square mile. The Trail will connect residents and visitors to services, recreation, other modes of transportation, employment, and housing. This trail is a priority in the Shoreline Park, Open Space, and Recreation Services Plan, Shoreline's Comprehensive Plan and Capital Improvement Program, and the State of Washington Trails Plan. The Shoreline segment is identified as a critical link in this regional trail.
