King County Housing Authority (KCHA) reopened the segment of the Interurban Trail between N 195th and N 205th Streets just in time for neighbors to enjoy the sunshine on Wednesday afternoon.

As previously reported, the segment of trail that runs through Ballinger Commons had been closed without notification - surprising both residents and the city.

In an email from a spokesperson, KCHA promised to provide advance notice for future trail closures and said trail maintenance projects are planned through the fall of 2024.
