Stop the delay: Build the Burke-Gilman Trail

By the Cascade Advocacy Department

In 1970 neighbors and leaders had a vision to build a multi-use trail along the historic Burke-Gilman rail line from Ballard to Bothell, where it would eventually connect into a network of regional trails. It would be a trail for everyone: from long-distance bike commuters to mothers pushing strollers to runners and roller-bladers.

By 2005, the vision of the Burke-Gilman Trail (BGT) was nearly complete, and the trail was used by thousands of people daily. But the last 1.5 miles of trail remain unfinished.
