Planned years and years ago, it put a bike path from Puyallup to Tacoma - there's no good route between the two cities without it. When Fife and Puyallup annexed some of the land the project stalled indefintely it seems. I know there's some folks working on it but I believe they're part of Rails to Trails - not Cascade Bicycle.....you guys seem to ignore everything outside of King County. Should be called Seattle Bicycle club....not Cascade. When is Cascade Bicycle going to start trying to get the missing link in Pierce County done???

The missing link I am interested in is the south ship canal trail connecting Magnolia under the Ballard Bridge to the rest of the city. This would make a huge difference to all the people who bike to and from Magnolia going East. Does anyone know what is happening with the BNSF permissions? What can we do to move it along? Boy, progress is slow there.

The court action on the part of these businesses basically amounts to delay tactics as they try to block and delay the completion of this much-needed trail as much as possible.

Looks like the light is finally visible at the end of the tunnel. I've been waiting for this segment since I lived in Ballard nearly 20 years ago. Frankly, I've got to wonder what all the fuss is about. Metro drivers interact safely with cyclists all over the city every day. If we can safely navigate a bus in areas like Dexter Ave, the University district, or 3rd Ave, can't cement truck drivers do the same? I mean, come on... Don't those things have mirrors and brakes?
