Just a reminder that the ground breaking for Phase II of Bridging the Gap is THIS SATURDAY, June 6th at 3PM. This long awaited project (we expected it to start about a year ago, but better late than never) entails a bridge over Martin Way for the Chehalis Western Rail Trail to connect to the I-5 bridge completed a few years ago.
Citizen presence and involvement has been crucial in getting this far and will be the key to obtaining funding for the final phase, a bridge over Pacific Avenue. This will join the northern and southern sections of this much-loved trail, and usher in a new era a non-motorized mobility for our region.
The Event will be held on the north side of Martin Way, where the Chehalis-Western Trail currently terminates. The location is readily accessible by bike and is served by Intercity Transit routes 62A and 62B. Pacific Cataract and Laser has generously offered use of their parking lot, located at their new building adjacent to the event site, for those who wish to carpool.
I look forward thanking Rep. Brian Baird who secured funding for this project, and also to seeing you there!
