Neighbors hold out on plan for new Lake Stevens trail
LAKE STEVENS Dozens of Lake Stevens residents could soon have access to a 12-block paved trail dotted with parks, right from their backyards.
The city of Lake Stevens hopes to begin construction on the Powerline Trail sometime this year.
The project is Mayor Brett Gaileys brainchild, in partial response to residents needs shared in a 2019 survey, said Jill Meis, city parks planning and development coordinator. A majority of survey respondents said they believe the city needs more pedestrian trails, and they want more parks within a mile or two of their homes.
One of the problems we have is we dont have a lot of sidewalks, but weve got a lot of walkers and runners, Gailey said. I saw that space as unused space, and space we can easily get turned into a trail.
