Description:

The Interurban Trail is a multi-jurisdictional recreational trail of statewide significance. The Shoreline portion of the trail is three miles long extending from the Seattle/Shoreline boundary on North 145th Street, north to the Snohomish County line. This project will design and construct the final section of the Shoreline Interurban Trail to be completed: the 0.85 mile North Central Segment (NCS) of the Shoreline Interurban Trail (N 175th to N 192nd) including landscaping, historical interpretative signage and neighborhood connections. The Shoreline Interurban Trail is a vital north-south link in the regional Puget Sound trail system, and its development will fill a great safety need for bicyclists and others seeking a recreational trail. The Shoreline Interurban Trail runs through an area of significant residential population, currently about 5,000 people per square mile, and will connect persons to services, other modes of transportation, employment, and housing. The greater Shoreline and regional community has been involved in the development of the Trail, since its beginnings in early 1980s. This Trail is mentioned by name in the Shoreline Park, Open Space, and Recreation Services Plan, Shoreline Comprehensive Plan, and State of Washington Trails Plan, to name a few.

Location:
The Interurban Trail North Central Segment will be located in the Seattle City Light right of way [ROW] running parallel to Aurora Avenue North [SR 99]. The ROW can be accessed from Aurora and all major cross streets; N 175th, N 185th. From I 5 take exit 176 [Shoreline, 175th Street Exit].
