Aubrey Davis Trail Project to Start
Renovations are getting underway this week on the Mountains to Sound Greenway Regional Trail in Aubrey Davis Park. This work will provide traffic calming and wayfinding to make the trail safer and more enjoyable for all users. The initial work will be dispersed between 60th Ave SE and 76th Ave SE, and after Seafair weekend it will focus on the area around the restrooms and Feroglia Fields. The project should wrap up by the end of September.
Trail users will see new advisory signs and pavement markings as well as wayfinding signage to orient trail users and cyclists on routes through the Park. Next to Feroglia Fields, existing asphalt paving will be removed and replaced with new colored concrete pavement to highlight this high-traffic area. Underneath the 72nd Avenue overpass, a new light pole will be installed to enhance the intersection's visibility during low-light conditions. The landscaped areas between the parking lot and Feroglia Field will be replanted and new fencing will be installed. Visibility and lines-of-sight on several sections of trail will be improved by cutting back encroaching vegetation and installing a gravel/topsoil shoulder that will support low-growing vegetation.
This project is funded in part by the taxpayers of Washington State through a grant from the Department of Commerce.
