South Ship Canal Trail Acquisition, Ph 2
- Status
- Funded in 1997
This .69 acre acquisition provides the vital missing link in both citywide and regional bicycle trail systems. Once completed, bicycle riders will be able to ride from suburban Redmond to downtown Seattle. The project connects Emerson Street Bicycle Path with the Ship Canal Trail to provide access to Fisherman's Terminal, popular waterfront parks, and downtown Seattle. The acquisition of this Burlington Northern?Santa Fe Railroad property allows a safer travel route between Queen Anne and Magnolia communities.
Location
The South Ship Canal Trail, Ph 2 will run from 6th Avenue West (where Ph 1 terminates) west just beyond the Ballard Bridge to West Emerson Street, where it will link to an existing path. The portion of the corridor where the acquisitions will occur are between 11th Avenue West and Emerson Street. To reach this area take I-5 to Mercer Street, right at Fairview (first street), then take a quick left at Valley, and then a right on Westlake Avenue North. At intersection of Dexter and Westlake (the Fremont Bridge) will be on your right), go straight as Westlake becomes Nickerson. Follow Nickerson to 13th Avenue West (just before the Ballard Bridge interchange area) and turn right. The rail corridor, which the trail will follow, will be right in front of you.
