A sure sign of spring? Crews will resume construction of the Appleway Trail in Spokane Valley between University and Pines on Monday, March 9,
with final touches on the project expected around the end of May.The twelve-foot wide asphalt pathway completed last fall is already attracting walkers and bicyclists. Over the next few months, lighting and landscaping will be added as well as benches. The entry plaza to be constructed at University will also include seating areas, providing a gathering place for trail users.
Safety improvements including crosswalks and sidewalk ramps will be added at Bowdish Road, Union Road, and Robie Road where they intersect with the Trail.
In addition to connecting neighborhoods south of the Trail with commercial areas to its north, the Appleway Trail provides an east-west route away from busy Sprague traffic for pedestrians, bicyclists, and those using other non-motorized means of transportation.
Funding has already been secured for design and construction of the next segment of the Trail between Pines and Evergreen in 2017/2018.
