Seattle Advances Design for Leary Way Bikeway, While Advocates Push for Shilshole
(www.theurbanist.org)
The stranglehold Salmon Bay Sand and Gravel have on Shilshole is actually insane:
A project to add a bike trail on the south side of Shilshole Avenue NW has been tied up in litigation for decades, with nearby industrial business owners and freight interests objecting to the route. The Burke-Gilman Trail did see improvements just to the east in 2023, but the conspicuous gap remains. Strauss has pitched his Leary Way project as an alternative to get people biking into and through Ballard, which has long been a hot spot for collisions involving people biking.
