Here’s some news from our friends in Seattle government:
SEATTLE – Mayor Greg Nickels today proposed funding to build the last remaining segment of the Burke-Gilman Trail. His 2009-2010 proposed budget allocates $8.6 million to complete the “Missing Link” segment over the next two years. The mayor made the announcement at the opening of the international Pro Walk/ Pro Bike Conference currently being held in Seattle.
The funding will allow the city to construct a trail segment, commonly known as the “Missing Link,” from 11th Avenue Northwest to the Hiram M. Chittenden (Ballard) Locks. Under the mayor’s proposal, the city would begin construction on the trail section in 2009 and complete its work by 2010.
