Summary
Evaluate the feasibility of extending the Sam Chastain Trail, including identification and comparison of potential trail alignment alternatives; identify key opportunities and constraints related to environmental conditions, utilities, topography, and adjacent land uses; assess regulatory, environmental, permitting, and cost considerations that may influence future trail development and implementation; and develop schematic plans, details, and cost estimate for a selected alternative (30% design). Provide professional cost and feasibility study services for the Sam Chastain Trail project. This project aims to establish a pedestrian and bicycle- friendly pathway linking Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park and Cedar River Trail Park through the creation of a new over- water and on- grade trail system. The trail will be fully ADA accessible and accommodate various activities such as walking, jogging, cycling, and wildlife observation. It will prioritize enhancing visitor experiences amidst Lake Washington' s natural environment while minimizing ecological impact. Ultimately, the project seeks to enrich recreational opportunities, encourage active transportation, and bolster citywide connectivity.
