Stores to Shores Greenway

ABOUT THE ROUTE: The Stores to Shores Greenway will create a corridor between Heritage Park and Totem Lake, along which walking and bicycling are the prioritized modes of travel and motorized transportation, such as driving a car, is the alternative form of transportation.

To achieve this, the greenway project will implement a series of strategic improvements to the route’s existing streets, intersections, trails and pedestrian bridges that will make the greenway accessible to travelers of all modes, ages and abilities.

Construction begins in spring 2025 and will continue through summer.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Community members’ feedback is one of the criteria the greenway design team will use to make design decisions. Other criteria include greenway design standards, City of Kirkland traffic safety standards and financial feasibility.

Parking on Northeast 112th Place

The Stores to Shores Greenway project will be reallocating enough parking space on Slater Avenue Northeast to accommodate up to an additional 17 vehicles.

However, Greenway features, such as medians, will reallocate a few shoulder areas community members had informally used for parking.

During construction, Kirkland's Stores to Shores Greenways contractor will be removing street parking along both sides of Slater Avenue Northeast, between Northeast 112th Place and Northeast 100th Street.

OMA Construction will restore these parking spots after construction is complete.
