SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!

GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY

FOR THE CHEHALIS-WESTERN TRAIL I-5 BRIDGE

Saturday, July 8^th

2:00 pm

Intersection of I-5 Bike Trail & Chehalis-Western Trail

Work is getting underway on this first “Bridging the Gap” project.  When complete, trail users will be able to cross between Martin Way and the I-5 Bike Trail over Interstate 5.  Work is expected to be complete by late December, 2006.

Join us to celebrate the groundbreaking of this important project!

How to get there:

The easiest way to get there is by bike, foot, rollerblade, or some other form of non-motorized, self-propelled transportation.  From the east or west, take the I-5 Bike Trail.  From the south, take the temporary Chehalis-Western Trail connection from Pacific Avenue.  You can also access the I-5 Bike Trail from Sleater-Kinney Road and from Lilly Road.

If self-propelling doesn’t work for you, try Intercity Transit.  I.T. has several routes serving that area on Saturdays with convenient 30-minute service.  It’s then a short walk on the Chehalis-Western Trail or the I-5 Bike Trail.  Call I.T. at 786.1881 to find the route that works best for you.

If you need to drive, park on Plummer Street.  Plummer Street is on Lilly Road, across from the Albertson’s.  There is a short, well-worn path to the Chehalis-Western Trail at the dead end.  When you reach the Chehalis-Western Trail, turn left and follow to the end.  Plummer Street is a quiet residential city street.  Please be respectful of the neighborhood.  Consider carpooling to minimize traffic.
