'Long-sought-after' trail will link Bellingham neighborhoods
Apr. 4—Bellingham is taking steps toward building a trail around Sunset Pond that also will connect the King Mountain and Irongate neighborhoods with the Barkley Village area, a project that Parks and Recreation Department officials are calling a priority.
The cost of the trail was estimated at $2 million, and the city is seeking a grant from the state Recreation and Conservation Office.
An extended Squalicum Creek Trail also will finish another part of the Bay to Baker Trail, which is being built in segments.
But more importantly, the new trail will provide a safer walking and biking route to Barkley and beyond for thousands of residents in lower King Mountain neighborhood and the high-density apartment buildings near Sunset Village, said Nicole Oliver, director of the Parks and Recreation Department.
