Kenmore’s New Burke-Gilman Trail Underpass Officially Opened!

Posted by James Lupori

My wife and I did our weekly 1/2 Lake Washington bicycle ride this morning and ended at the official opening of the new Burke-Gilman Trail underpass in Kenmore. The event was actually quite a surprise. In attendance were: Kenmore’s Mayor, David Baker; King Co. Executive, Ron Sims; 32nd District’s Representative, Maralyn Chase; King County Councilman Bob Ferguson and Steve Gorcester of the WA State Transportation Improvement Board. 

It was a perfect day for the “grand opening.”

There was a small yet enthusiastic group of cyclists and residents for the celebration and ribbon cutting:

Representative Maralyn Chase & King County Executive Ron Sims

The real highlight for me was meeting King Co. Executive, Ron Sims. I had an opportunity to chat briefly with him regarding the Brighwater Project, the new underpass and the importance of government and the private sector working together to help modernize and improve our communities.

My wife, Virginia, Ron Sims and the author!
