If you plan to hop on the bike and head to the Burke-Gilman Trail this Saturday, Oct. 2, be aware that more than 200 students from John Stanford International Elementary School will be biking, scooting and rollerskating on one section of the trail for their annual Move-A-Thon fundraiser. Julie sent us information about trail impact:
We will be using a section of the Burke-Gilman Trail from just east of Meridian & Northlake Way to just west of Latona & NE Pacific St (Dunn Lumber). Students will be riding up and down the course on whatever wheels they want to raise funds for the JSIS. Detours will be signed but every year we have cyclists who ride through the course. We suggest avoiding the course all together unless you want to become a Kindergartener’s road kill!
Burke-Gilman riders will be detoured to N. Pacific St., which runs adjacent to the trail, along the route.
Surely Mayor McGinn will stop this unseemly intrusion on cyclist's rights!
