April 27: Sammamish River Trail closes May 3-14 near Marymoor Park for emergency repairs:
"Sammamish River Trail closes May 3-14 near Marymoor Park for emergency repairs. A portion of Sammamish River Trail just north of Marymoor Park needs repairs, and King County is closing that stretch of the trail May 3-14 to ensure continued trail user safety.
The trail, which runs along the river from Marymoor Park to Bothell, will be closed to all access between Leary Way and Northeast Marymoor Way near Redmond at the Marymoor Park west entry, as crews rebuild the 200-foot-section of the trail, including repaving.
There is no viable detour route, so trail users who commonly use Marymoor Park for parking will need to use alternative access. Trail users can access the Sammamish River Trail north of Leary Way Northeast via Redmond’s Bear Creek Trail, which runs alongside Redmond Town Center.
The Sammamish River Trail can also be accessed at other points along the Sammamish River in the Redmond and Woodinville area, including Sixty Acres Park at Northeast 116th Street near Woodinville Redmond Road Northeast.
There will be no direct trail access from the East Lake Sammamish Trail via the Marymoor Connector Trail through Marymoor Park."ce

As a regular bike commuter who uses this stretch
ReplyDeleteof trail on a daily basis, my question is this...
what are we (cyclists, joggers, dog walkers, etc)
supposed to do? We certainly can't (or won't) go
onto the road, where they're doing the 520 widening construction! Very bad planning. It shouldn't take that long to fix the trail anyway.
All you're talking about is breaking up the (already broken up) section of trail and repaving
it. It would seem to me to be a 3 day job...MAX!
Convenience and safety of users has never been King County's concern.
