Youre Invited to the Appleway Trail Groundbreaking In celebration of what will be a popular place for meeting with family and friend to enjoy the outdoors, community members are invited to a groundbreaking for the new Appleway Trail. The event will be held at 4:00pm on Wednesday, September 17 at the Trails University Plaza site, located on the east side of University where it intersects with Applewar Picturesy. Spokane Valley Mayor Dean Grafos will be on hand for the celebration along with City Councilmembers, project coordinators and staff members. In addition to a formal groundbreaking ceremony, attendees will be able to learn more about the Trail project and enjoy light refreshments at the event. Designed in collaboration with Spokane County and Spokane Valley community members, the Appleway Trail will include a paved multi-use pathway that will eventually connect all the way from Appleway and University to Liberty Lake. In addition to providing a safe and traffic-free alternative for pedestrians and cyclists, the Trail will be an attractive green space that enhances opportunities for living healthier, more active lives and fosters greater connections within our community. Earthwork is already under way for the section of the Trail that will run between University and Pines. Paving of the asphalt pathway as well as construction of the University Plaza is expected to begin in late September/early October, depending on the weather. Development of the Trail is possible as the result of a collaborative agreement between the City of Spokane Valley and Spokane County, which owns the former Milwaukee Railroad right-of-way where the Trail is being built. The agreement allows development of the right-of-way for enjoyment by the community while reserving the ability to accommodate future transportation needs. More information about the project is available at spokanevalley.org/ApplewayTrail or by calling 509-720-5411, where RSVPs for the event will also be accepted.
