This trail project is situated in the 113-acre Samish Hill Open Space adjacent to the Puget and Samish Neighborhoods. The proposed trail improvement generally follows an existing north-south foot path beginning at the foot of Racine Street.
Current funding will allow the improvement of 2800 lineal feet of trail. Future improvements will extend the trail south to Lake Padden Park with connecting trails to adjacent neighborhoods.
The trail will be 4' wide with 1' shoulders and surfaced with crushed limestone. Other improvements include a pet waste station, new wayfinding and native growth protection signage, drainage, a park bench, wetland buffer enhancement planting and monitoring.
Beyond Greenway Levy: $400,000
