SNOHOMISH COUNTY – Snohomish County Public Works is seeking public input on filling a critical gap in the Interurban Trail near Lynnwood through a new online open house this summer. The Interurban Trail/Maple Rd Overcrossing Online Open House features an online survey and runs through the end of September.
Currently, Interurban Trail users must navigate around Interstate 5 to travel between Lynnwood city limits, the Lynnwood Transit Center and communities west of the freeway due to a gap in the trail along Maple Road from Ash Way to Butternut Road. The County is seeking public input on potential solutions to enhance the trail system and improve connectivity for bicyclists, pedestrians and other trail users.
- What: Interurban Trail/Maple Rd Overcrossing at I-5 Online Open House
- When: August 3 – September 30, 2026
- Why: Gather public input for a new study exploring ways to bridge the gap in the Interurban Trail system near Lynnwood.

The online open house will be followed by an in-person public meeting in the fall.

Funding for the planning study comes from the Sandy Williams Connecting Communities Program, which is supported by funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act.
