Open House for 195th Trail on Tuesday at Spartan Rec Center

| North and South connections between the Interurban and Burke-Gilman Trails |
The City will hold an Open House on Tuesday at the Spartan Rec Center Cascade Room, 202 NE 185th St, Shoreline 98155 (between Shoreline Stadium and Shoreline Center), to let residents know about the plans to build separated bicycle lanes on NE 195th. The Open House will be held between 5:30 and 7:30pm.
This is part of the project to create a northern connection between the Interurban Trail in Shoreline and the Burke-Gilman Trail in Lake Forest Park.
NE 195th runs behind Holyrood Cemetery and leads to the pedestrian bridge across I-5.
Options Being Considered For This Project Are:
- Widen improvements on north and south side of NE 195th St to build trail
- Converting NE 195th St to a one-way road
- Converting NE 195th St to a one-way road with 2-way traffic along the east portion of NE 195th St.

Making it one-way is not a good option for a number of reasons.
1) It increases traffic flow on 194th St which is not designed for higher traffic flow.
2) It's highly inconvenient for the several residents on the segment, making them drive more on a daily basis to get to their driveways.
There's plenty of room there, so there's no reason not to expand.
