The scope of the project is to design and construct a .47 mile barrier free, grade separated recreational trail on an old interurban trail connection. The "interurban corridor" is a former inter-city rail line, part of a nation-wide system of similar lines operated from the 1890's to the 1930's. This vital project is significant because it is the "missing link" north and beyond to the Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, and Everett Interurban Trails and south to the recently completed Shoreline Interurban Trail and on to Seattle and King County linkages. This community supported trail will provide safe links to homes, work, services, other recreation sites, and other modes of transportation. The trail lies along beautiful view corridors of Lake Ballinger with waterfront access and a respite stop at the existing Mathay-Ballinger Park. The trail project includes a 12' wide paved path, landscaping, benches, signage, bicycle racks, a shelter and an information kiosk. The shelter will serve pedestrian, bicycle, and skate trail users. Historic and interpretive signs will be incorporated into the shelter to depict the historic "Lake Ballinger Trolley Station" and tell the story of the heyday of the electric interurban trolley system. Additionally the City of Edmonds will complete two adjacent sections totaling .90 miles of shared on-street trail portions partially funded by a Federal Air Quality Grant. These sections are not part of the RCO grant project, but complete the 1.37 mile link through Edmonds.
