Work continues on projects to connect two major trails

Saturday, June 14, 2014


The cities of Shoreline and Lake Forest Park have been working for some time on routes and projects to connect the two major north-south trails - the Interurban Trail in Shoreline and the Burke Gilman Trail in Lake Forest park.

The current Shoreline planning will provide two routes (northern and southern) to connect Shoreline’s section of the regional Interurban Trail to Lake Forest Park and the Burke-Gilman Trail. 

The trail connections will be a combination of signage, sidewalks, shoulder improvements, sharrows and grade separated paths to provide the east-west routes for these important regional trails.

Specific work includes:

  • Bike lanes /rechannelization /sharrows /signage along the routes. Wayfinding signage indicating the routes are connections between the Interurban Trail and Burke Gilman Trail.
  • Sidewalk improvements on NE 150th Street, allowing bike lanes on the street from 5th Avenue NE to 25th Avenue NE.

If funding is available, construction of 12 foot wide multi-purpose trails on unimproved city right-of-way to provide neighborhood connections.

Design for NE 195th train

NE 195th today

The project will build upon already completed bike lanes and separated trail segments previously completed or planned for construction such as the 195th Street connection along Holyrood Cemetery to the pedestrian overpass on the freeway.

Shoreline is moving forward with the option to widen the improvements on the north side of NE 195th Street and build the trail which will provide bicycle and pedestrian walkways. The proposed improvements will not change the current use of NE 195th Street, however on street parking will be limited upon completion.

Open House for 195th Trail on Tuesday at Spartan Rec Center

Sunday, January 12, 2014

North and South connections between the Interurban
and Burke-Gilman Trails

The City will hold an Open House on Tuesday at the Spartan Rec Center Cascade Room, 202 NE 185th St, Shoreline 98155 (between Shoreline Stadium and Shoreline Center), to let residents know about the plans to build separated bicycle lanes on NE 195th. The Open House will be held between 5:30 and 7:30pm.

This is part of the project to create a northern connection between the Interurban Trail in Shoreline and the Burke-Gilman Trail in Lake Forest Park.

NE 195th runs behind Holyrood Cemetery and leads to the pedestrian bridge across I-5.

Options Being Considered For This Project Are: 
  1. Widen improvements on north and south side of NE 195th St to build trail 
  2. Converting NE 195th St to a one-way road 
  3. Converting NE 195th St to a one-way road with 2-way traffic along the east portion of NE 195th St.

Burke-Gilman Trail stops in Kenmore this autumn

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

The great thing about Pacific Northwest cyclists is that they are devoted to getting out even as the weather shifts with autumn temperatures.

As many cyclists know and love, the Burke-Gilman Trail runs 18 miles from Seattle to Kenmore with plenty of scenery throughout the trail. This autumn makes for a timely backdrop for a weekend day trip from Seattle along the trail with a couple of great stops along the way in Kenmore.

Log Boom Park, one of the Burke-Gilman Trail’s three access points located at 61st Ave NW and NE 175th St., is a 12-acre park with over 1,200 feet of shoreline on Kenmore’s Lake Washington waterfront. The public dock is fantastic place to watch the sea planes, or stretch your legs with a stroll down the Kenmore History Path at the park.

Located just a mile east of Log Boom Park on the trail at 7324 NE 175th St. in Kenmore is the 192 Brewing Company. Peddle into the brewery’s Lake Trail Taproom that serves Washington wines and 14 beers and ciders on tap that are crafted right her in the state. Whether a stout or an IPA is the incentive for the ride up, the taproom is dog friendly if cyclists bring Fido along.

Take a hike, or a ride, on a more enjoyable Burke-Gilman Trail in Lake Forest Park

Thursday, March 15, 2012

The snip of giant scissors cutting through a wide gold ribbon signaled the official reopening of a safer, more enjoyable Burke-Gilman Trail segment through Lake Forest Park Tuesday afternoon.

“This delivers on a promise made many years ago, to preserve and protect a valuable recreational treasure and active transportation link that greatly enhances the lives of King County residents,” said County Parks Director Kevin Brown, who with dozens of trail users celebrated the grand reopening of a vastly improved 2.2-mile trail stretch.

Also joining Brown were Assistant Deputy King County Executive Rhonda Berry, County Councilmember Bob Ferguson, and officials from Lake Forest Park and Cascade Bicycle Club.

Used by thousands every day, the trail segment from Northeast 145th Street to Logboom Park in Kenmore was made safer by widening and repaving it, and installing soft surface shoulders, improved street crossings and better lighting.

“The Burke-Gilman Trail is the most widely used trail in the County’s trail network and connects many of the communities in north King County that I represent,” said Councilmember Bob Ferguson. “I appreciate the patience of the community as these important improvements were made.”

Once celebration formalities were complete, a swarm of Cascade Bicycle Club members, pedestrians and other trail users set off to enjoy the trail. Celebrants participated in a “More Tortoise, Less Hare Race” that emphasized best trail etiquette and respect for all types of trail users.

The trail has been open to users since February 10. It had been closed since June 2011 as King County completed the first major redevelopment of the oldest Burke-Gilman trail section.

The Burke-Gilman Trail runs from Seattle’s Shilshole Bay area to Kenmore. From there, the trail connects with the County’s Sammamish River Trail and continues through Woodinville and into Redmond.

Trail use surveys show that more than 1,300 trips are made on the Burke-Gilman Trail through this section on weekdays, and the trail is used by many as part of their daily commute. On a sunny weekend the number of trips can jump to more than 2,200 in this location.

Redevelopment included widening the trail to 12 feet, installing soft-surface shoulders that walkers and runners can use, and enhancing intersection and crossing treatments. More than 340 trees were planted, and upgrades also included a new bridge, improved sightlines and improved drainage.

The County spent more than five years of planning and design work for this redevelopment project, with ongoing involvement of a citizen’s advisory group and in close coordination with the City of Lake Forest Park.

Funding was provided in part by the voter-approved Open Space and Trails Levy. The trail is managed by Seattle within the city limits south of Northeast 145th Street and by King County outside Seattle. More information is available

On Friday, February 10, 2012, King County announced the completion of the renovation of the Burke Gilman Trail through Lake Forest Park, took down the construction barriers, and declared the trail open for business.

The much-hated bicycle detour through City streets will no longer be necessary. King County anticipates holding an official grand re-opening event later in the spring.

The redevelopment project improved the safety of the trail by widening it to a 12-foot trail with soft surface shoulders, enhancing traffic controls, intersection and crossing treatments, and installing lighting and other trail amenities. Other upgrades include a new stormwater system, retaining walls, slope stabilization, replacement of the Lyon Creek Bridge, and installation of native vegetation.

Funding for the Burke-Gilman Trail Redevelopment Project was provided in part by the 2008-2013 King County voter-approved Open Space and Trails Levy.

Burke-Gilman Trail construction update

Thursday, December 15, 2011

What's happening on the BGT?
  • The northern segment from Ballinger Way Northeast to Logboom Park will re-open by Dec. 31.
  • The southern segment from Northeast 145th Street to Ballinger Way Northeast is expected to remain closed until late January.
  • The detour will remain in place from Ballinger Way Northeast to 94th Street until the project is complete.

Contractor crews encountered unanticipated issues associated with 100 years of tight development along the corridor, including poor soil quality, drainage and the numerous utility crossings. These problems required extensive redesign and caused delays. Contractor crews have been working extended hours since September to complete construction as quickly as possible. Read the most recent Construction Mailer (12/06/2011).

What's next?

Most remaining work is focused on completing the southern segment from Northeast 145th Street to Ballinger Way Northeast and includes paving and installing safety features, such as fencing, bollards, and intersection treatments. Check back often, as we will continue to provide construction updates on a weekly basis.

The Council of Neighborhoods had seven people participating in the November 12, 2011, Adopt A Trail  -Weeding the Interurban event.

Patty Hale: Ridgecrest, Keenan Stevens and Judy Allen: Innis Arden, Arthur Peach, Chair of C of N, Briarcrest, Greg Logan: Highland Terrace, Patty Dooley, secretary of C of N, Ballinger and her 9 year old grandson, Kenneth Dooley. Photo by Bob Allen, Innis Arden, who was also in charge of transport of weeds and debris to Hamlin Park.
Organizer Judy Allen said, "City of Shoreline staff has done a great job of maintaining the landscaping between the Shoreline Signature bridges this year so our collection of weeds is dramatically diminished. In four 2011 weeding sessions this Fall we had 17 people participating, working 27 hours of labor and producing just 8 bags of garbage and weeds."

Keenan and Arthur scraped up all the built-up moss on the bridge surfaces, swept it clean and sprayed the affected areas with vinegar and water. Keenan, a Sophomore at Shorewood High School is a member of the National Honor Society and found our volunteer schedule on the City website.
Please join us in the early spring of 2012 as we continue to help make the City of Shoreline the best place to live.

Volunteers from the Shoreline Council of Neighborhoods continue their work to beautify the Interurban Trail at the Blue Bridges on Aurora.  They welcome participation from willing workers - membership in the Council of Neighborhoods is not a requirement.

Daniel Pillay found the event on the website. He is a junior at Cedar Park High School interested in physics and calculus. Volunteer Charlotte Green Waugh PhD (not pictured) found the group by email. 

Dates and times of these volunteer events are listed on the City of Shoreline website.  The next opportunity to volunteer is Sunday, November 13, 11am.  Meet in the parking lot by Denny's Restaurant. 

Arthur Peach is Chair of the C of N and Representative from Briarcrest.  Judy Allen is the Representative from Innis Arden.

The Council of Neighborhoods "Adopt a Trail" pilot project was started by Judy Allen in June of 2010. Now in its second year, the 2010 Council of Neighborhoods conducted:
  • 10 clean up sessions from June 11th thru Nov 28th
  • With 41 participants (some repeats)
  • 86 total hours of labor
  • Production was 98 full bags of weeds over 10 sessions

According to Judy Allen, "Brian Breeden, Public Works Maintenance Supervisor, has been extremely grateful for our tenacity, communication and production."  Volunteer Bob Allen has delivered the bags of weeds to Hamlin Park.
"We hope this pilot project will inspire more citizens to adopt other portions of the trail to help make Shoreline the best place to live."

Edmonds begins construction on missing link of Interurban Trail

Monday, July 25, 2011

Teresa Wippel, publisher of MyEdmondsNews.com, reports that work has begun on the Edmonds section of the Interurban Trail, running from the intersection at N 205th and Meridian Ave N (SR 104 and 76th Ave W) to 228th St in Mountlake Terrace.

Map courtesy City of Edmonds via MyEdmondsNews.com

The first stage includes erosion control work, including installation of catch basic protection.

The Interurban Trail Project will complete the missing link for the 30 mile trail. The Shoreline section is complete, running the length of the city, from NE 145 to NE 205. There is no indication that Seattle plans to work on their north Seattle section any time soon.

The following is from the MyEdmondsNews article:

The $2.4 million project — with $1.3 million coming from state and federal grant funds — is scheduled to be completed “on a 120-day construction cycle,” Haus said. Adding time for weather and other unexpected delays, work is likely to be finished in early 2012."

Currently, bicyclists who follow the Interurban Trail north from Shoreline are directed along 76th Avenue West, where there are no official bicycle lanes. When the Edmonds link is complete, cyclists and pedestrians will have the choice of continuing along 76th, where a bike lane will be added both east and westbound. (Parking will be alternated between the east and west sides of 76th to accommodate the bike lane, which will be tapered in and out around the parking.)

Those who want a more scenic (and slower) route can leave 76th at the PUD crossing near McAleer Way, and will be able to take a breather at Ballinger Station, a landscaped rest area for users of the Interurban Trail. Highlights include a drinking fountain, an open shelter with a park bench and two interpretive historical panels that tell the story of the Interurban Trolley Line, which ran from Seattle to Everett until 1939.

A spur trail heading west from this location will also be built to Mathey Ballinger Park, using the PUD crossing at 76th Avenue West with a 12-foot trail through what is now power line right-of-way.

The McAleer Way entrance will be marked with bollards and then follow a 12-foot-wide paved trail that will be built along the power line right-of-way that runs between homes just off McAleer, rejoining the street at 74th Avenue West. (A marked crosswalk and a four-way stop will be added here to slow down vehicle traffic.)

The trail will continue lakeside along 74th Avenue West, which will be paved with new asphalt and striped with a walking area for pedestrians on the east side and shared use for cars and bicycles on the west. The roadway currently varies in width from 12 feet to 20 feet, so the goal will be to widen it to 20 feet. Retaining walls will built along the route as necessary to protect trail users.

Three sets of speed cushions (wide enough to slow cars but narrow enough to allow speedy passage of fire trucks), will be installed along this portion of the 74th as a safety measure.

In the final section of the Edmonds trail, users will be directed along a now-unpaved portion of 74th (commonly referred to as an alley). That street will be paved and widened from 12 feet to 15 feet to accommodate access by bicyclists, local residents with driveways on the street, and garbage trucks. From there, the trail will exit to a crosswalk at 228th Street Southwest, and rejoin the already-completed Mountlake Terrace portion.

Burke Gilman Trail detour a major topic at LFP council meeting

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

by Mark D. Goodwin

A city permit for the planned detour of the Burke Gilman Trail this spring received the most attention from the vocal citizens at Thursday’s (May 12) Lake Forest Park City Council meeting. Their concerns were numerous, namely for the safety of the trail users. The proposed detour route crosses Bothell Way (SR 522) and weaves through residential streets for over two miles. Stretches of the interim trail will be covered in materials unsuitable for street bikes (such as wood chips or gravel), according to citizen Jean Thomas.
“It’s not this city’s responsibility to find the least unsafe path through LFP,” Thomas said.
The fact remains the trail will need to be closed, and bike and foot traffic will have to be diverted while the trail undergoes repair. Members of the council promised to stay on top of the issue while seeking input from the community.

The future of the city’s website occupied the council for a sizable chunk of the evening. They are in the process of upgrading the site to better communicate and interact with the citizenry.

City attorneys and the soon-to-retire city web designer are negotiating a deal with a hosting company in Oklahoma to run the website. Before moving forward with the contract, Deputy Mayor Dwight Thompson wanted to ensure the website would be capable of taking electronic payment for utility bills, tickets or fines, and other fees. After learning the website would have such functionality, the council unanimously approved the deal.

There was also time set aside to honor eight area volunteers. The most prominent were the founders of the current Third Place Commons.

Anne Stadler met the building owner Ron Sher (also honored on Thursday) while in line at the Honey Bear Bakery in 1998. Shortly after, Stadler organized the Friends of Third Place Commons, a not-for-profit organization which manages the community center portion of the building. She has lived here since 1959, before Lake Forest Park actually existed.
“I really value living here,” Stadler said. “I felt like I could be a contributor to this place in whatever way I had passion for.”
Lastly, Jeffrey Weissman, who is co-owner of Great Harvest Bread, a Lake Forest Park Rotarian and community activist, was presented with two gifts. One was a plaque, which other volunteers received as well; the second was an honorary citizenship with the city of Lake Forest Park. Weissman was gracious in his brief speech, but had a suggestion for his fellow volunteers.
“It seems to me that all eight of us [volunteers], ought to get together and have words for all of you,” Weissman said as he gestured towards the council and mayor. There was laughter and nervous applause from the audience.
An approved parks-related measure now requires council consent for improvements to public spaces and trails. Art, benches, new plants and the like were examples cited. Both decisions on the non-competitive franchise deal with Comcast for high speed Internet access, as well as the finance committee report were postponed until next meeting.

Mark D. Goodwin is a student in the University of Washington Department of Communication News Laboratory and is interning with the ShorelineAreaNews.

Planning continues for construction closure of the Burke-Gilman Trail

Thursday, May 5, 2011

from City of Lake Forest Park *electronic town crier

As of the end of April, King County still had not selected a contractor to begin the construction on the redevelopment of the Burke Gilman Trail. However, once construction starts, King County will need to close the trail while work is going on. In order to allow non-motorized travelers to continue to move through the City, King County has proposed a detour.

King County explored several options for a detour. The objectives for the detour were to maintain the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and cars on public streets and to select a route that was likely to be used by trail riders. Earlier this year King County met with the City Council to look at alternative routes including over routing bikes through Kenmore and the Uplake neighborhood and then through NE 178th Street, through Sheridan Heights and then back to the trail. The other alternative was along the water.

In order to begin the detour, the County needed three permits, a right of way permit, a shoreline substantial development exemption and a sensitive areas permit. The sensitive areas permit requires notification and provides for a comment period.

At the end of the comment period the City staff will review the comments and determine whether or not the permit can be issued and the conditions to apply to the permit.

The comment period on this application which originally ended on April 29, 2011 is extended an additional 10 days to May 10, 2011, due to new information that has been added to application file. The City will not issue permits until the comment period has ended.

King County is planning to host two informational meetings for the residents of the area when the detour route is proposed and there is specific information about the timeline for construction. The City continues to work with King County on safe alternatives.

Burke Gilman Trail will close for construction mid-April to November

Friday, February 4, 2011

Burke Gilman Trail.  Photo courtesy LFP
by Brian Doennebrink

The oldest part of the Burke-Gilman Trail is expected to be closed from mid-April through October.

Described as "a once-in-a-generation project," the approximately 2 miles of the trail that is in Lake Forest Park is being redeveloped due to trail deterioration, limited sign distance (vegetation, fences, etc.), signage in conflict with engineering best practices, doesn’t meet minimum standards for safe use, doesn’t meet KC Regional Trails standards. Estimates of trail usage last summer were 1,000-1,500 users per day.

The trail will be widened from 12 feet to 18 feet, with improved intersection and crossing treatments, signage, fencing, drainage, and vegetation management.

Mitigation efforts include promoting bus usage (putting bicycle on front) and adding bicycle lockers at the Kenmore Park & Ride, while exploring the feasibility of incentives to expedite construction, hiring a private shuttle service, and having a detour.

Unfortunately, there is no direct way to detour, and what has been proposed adds 1.7 miles to the present route, goes close by houses, requires stairs in one area due to a recently-discovered environmental issue, requires approval of a few jurisdictions as well as a church, and has steep (vs. the current) grades.

Even with these efforts, there is concern that riders will instead use the Business Access/Transit (BAT, or shoulder) lanes on State Route 522 (Bothell Way NE), impeding bus travel in those lanes.

As a King County official noted: “For as much passion we’re seeing on one point-of-view, we’re seeing equal passion on five other points-of-view.”

Which trees will be removed for the Burke Gilman construction?

Photo by Steven H. Robinson
from the Electronic Town Crier

The City of Lake Forest Park and King County have agreed on a three-phased process for the identification of trees to be removed and retained.

The first phase began on January 19. The King County and the City arborists walked the trail and conducted a preliminary assessment of the trees to be removed and retained during the redevelopment of the trail. This assessment identified 12 trees that can likely be retained that were originally slated for removal. Three significant trees were identified that were not shown on the plans that need to be removed. Various other trees need to be revisited during the final walk once the limits of construction have been staked.

Phase two is the citizen trail walk. After the construction limits are marked, interested citizens are invited to join a trail walk with the Planning Department personnel and the City arborist and to review the marked up plans for retention and removal. Citizens who have indicated interest in the tree walk will be notified. The walk will most likely occur in mid-March. If you are interested in joining the walk, please contact City staff. steve@cityoflfp.com.

The last phase is a final tree walk by King County and City arborists that will occur after the citizen trail walk. Final decisions on trees that needed to be revisited will be made at this time.

Planning Staff will notify interested citizens when the marked-up tree retention/removal plans will be available for review. After that notification, the plans will be available at the Planning Department Counter from 9 am to 1 pm Monday through Thursday or by appointment.

2 miles of Burke-Gilman Trail will close for fix

Thursday, November 4, 2010

From our NewsPartner, the Seattle Times. a story about the renovation of LFP's section of the Burke Gilman Trail

A two-mile portion of one of the oldest and narrowest sections of the Burke-Gilman Trail, through Lake Forest Park, will be closed for up to six months next spring while King County makes safety improvements and repairs to the popular pathway.
The section to be closed stretches from Northeast 145th Street to Log Boom Park in Kenmore.
Because the corridor is so narrow, it will be closed to all users, according to the county.
