The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) has made significant progress towards the goal of making Seattle the most bike-friendly city in the nation, outlined in the “Bicycle Master Plan Progress Report” posted on SDOT’s website. During the past two years, SDOT has extended the network of bicycle routes, lanes and trails, and improved bicycle safety.

Nearly two miles of new multi-purpose trail have been completed during the last two years. SDOT added a section to the Burke-Gilman Trail along Shilshole Bay to Golden Gardens Park, and designed the “Missing Link” section of the trail in Ballard. Two sections were added to the Duwamish Trail (one built by the Port of Seattle), and the Interurban Bikeway was completed.  MyBallard.com recently reported on the “Missing Link.”
