The goal of the Aubrey Davis Park Trail Safety Improvements project is to improve safety and create a more enjoyable experience for all trail and park users, while maintaining the existing character of the Aubrey Davis Park and utilizing the design framework of Aubrey Davis Park Master Plan. The project improvements will focus primarily on low-impact approaches for improvements to a 0.8-mile trail section from 60th Ave SE to 76th Ave SE along the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail.
This project is primarily within WSDOT limited access and will require WSDOT review, coordination, and approval of design documentation. The three highest priorities for the project improvements and placemaking will be the area near the restrooms and Gary Feroglia playfields, the trail connection at the 72nd Ave SE underpass, and the West Mercer Way trail crossing.

Share Submitted by Bob Gilbert on 2/24: I just completed the survey prepared by you and your team and want to thank you for this consideration. In the “other comments” section at survey end I added the need for the pavement to be remediated where tree roots have pushed up through the asphalt and caused cracks and some large bumps, causing a rough ride for bicyclists and I suppose others traversing the path.
I noted last year many of the cracks has been highlighted with paint; what is the plan to repair these cracks? on FacebookShare Submitted by Bob Gilbert on 2/24: I just completed the survey prepared by you and your team and want to thank you for this consideration.

Thanks for raising this question. We are aware of the tree root intrusion problem on the trail. Since this is WSDOT's trail, we have asked several times for them to repair this. We have not been successful so far. We are now proposing a project in the 2023 capital budget to fix the areas that are most damaged.
