We are very pleased and excited about the newly purchased railroad line segment. We were long-time bicyclists, but no longer have any easy access to a safe local bicycle trail. We are also both avid walkers and a new walking trail would be just terrific.

Please count us in for support for a walking/biking path. As for a rail commuter corridor, the surrounding communities will have to come up with a master plan. In the meantime, a walking/biking path would benefit all of us.

The issue of timeliness is critical. These issues can be studied to death as we all know. We hope we don’t fall into the same trap the East Lake Sammamish trail did for over 10 years. Let’s get the ball rolling so we can use this wonderful asset as soon as possible.
