Ballard Bicycle Missing Link Final

The final route for the long debated “missing link” of the Burke Gilman Trail has been chosen. This proposed trail would run along Market Street between the Ballard Locks and 24th Avenue Northwest, then turn on to Shilshole Avenue Northwest and run along the south-side of the street.
