w Jim Haggerton, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: June 7, 2011
SUBJECT: Lake to Sound Trail Update
ISSUE
Update regarding the Lake to Sound Trail project.
BACKGROUND
In the summer of 2008, the cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, Renton, Burien and Des Moines, King
County and members of WSDOT, Sound Transit and the Cascade Bicycle Club joined together
to create a vision for a vital east -west multi -use trail connecting Lake Washington in Renton to
the Puget Sound in Des Moines. Attachment A, is a "fact sheet' or overview of the project.
The entire length of the Lake to Sound Trail will utilize existing paved trails, bike lanes, and
sidewalks as well as adding additional trail connecting segments. The long -term future focus of
the Lake to Sound Trail is to enhance the route with the goal of separating trail users from
vehicular traffic as much as possible. The trail will connect three existing paved trails to make
the journey and it will be roughly 17 miles long when it is completed.
The cities and county have been meeting regularly as we worked through various grant
processes and design studies funded by the King County Parks Expansion Levy. Utilizing the
2009 awarded federal grant from the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program,
the management team was able to progress from conceptual studies to the currently designed
30% construction drawings.
In Tukwila, the Lake to Sound Trail will have easy access from the Interurban and
Duwamish /Green River trails. The proposed route will actually use a portion of the
Duwamish /Green River Trail as the trail enters the City of Tukwila under the railroad tracks at
the north end of Fort Dent Park and travels "west' to Southcenter Boulevard past Tukwila City
Hall to the City of SeaTac. This linkage is a great opportunity to create an east -west connector
trail as identified in the 2008 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan (pages 46 -49).
There is enough funding for Segments A and B for 100% design and permitting. Segment A
(Attachment B Renton to Tukwila) and Segment B (Attachment C SeaTac to Burien) were
selected because they are the most viable or currently most "ready to construct' portions of the
entire Lake to Sound Trail. Actual construction of these two segments is dependent upon
additional future funding.

Attachments D, E and F are the 30% drawings for the Tukwila portion of Segment A for the
Lake to Sound Trail. To get to this level of design it means that the management team and
consultants have agreed upon the most realistic route to be designed, the two segments have
been surveyed, the potentially best option for constructing the trail is preliminarily designed and
ready for public comments. Attachments G (postcard) and H (poster) are a couple of
promotional items that are currently being mailed or posted around Tukwila and Renton.
On June 23, there will be an Open House for the public to review the 30% plans, discuss the
plans with the management team and consultants, and to have an open discussion and
comment time as a group. The Lake to Sound Trail Open House will be held from 5:00 to 7:00
pm in the meeting room at Starfire Sports indoor facility.

What is the Lake to Sound Trail?
l i y
The Lake to Sound Trail project will provide as"
16 -mile biking and walking trail, linking the s
shoreline of Lake Washington in Renton to
the shoreline of Puget Sound in Des Moines. i •.�,.,��„¢t f
The Lake to Sound Trail will connect five
i cities (Renton, Tukwila, SeaTac, Burien,
i and Des Moines) and four major trails (the
Cedar River, Green River, Westside and Des
Moines Creek trails).
The Lake to Sound Trail project is a joint
partnership between King County and the
w
cities of Renton, Tukwila, SeaTac, Burien,
and Des Moines.,
f l'
nw
Where will we start?
King County has funding to design two critical
segments of the trail:
Segment A (Renton to Tukwila) Segment B Memorial Drive
This 1.06 mile segment will connect Naches (SeaTac to Burien)
Avenue in Renton with Fort Dent Park and the A 1.45 mile segment along s 156th St.
Green River Trail in Tukwila via a scenic "forest Des Moines Memorial Drive p
trail" segment that passes along the northern from S. 156th Street (City of
boundary of the Black River Riparian Forest. SeaTac) to S. Normandy Road s I6otn St.
(City of Burien). Segment
B will connect at the north

Environmental Review Process
-The Lake to Sound Trail project is currently undergoing an environmental review process.
At the completion of 30% design, the partner agencies will issue an environmental determination.
King County anticipates a determination of findings for Segment B in April 2011, and a
determination of findings for Segment A in July 2011.
We want to hear from you. Please share your feedback at tonight's open house!

Review preliminary design
King County and the Cities of Renton and Tukwila
are working together to design a 1 -mile segment
of the Lake to Sound Trail. The trail will connect
Naches Avenue in Renton with Fort Dent Park and
the Green River Trail in Tukwila via a scenic "forest
trail "segment that passes along the northern
boundary of the Black River Riparian Forest.
What is the Lake to Sound Trail?
The Lake to Sound Trail is a proposed 16 -mile
biking and walking trail linking the shoreline of
Lake Washington in Renton to the shoreline of
Puget Sound in Des Moines.
