The proposed Kent Valley Loop Trail will be a paved, multi-use loop capitalizing on the intersection of the Green River and Interurban trails at Foster Park at the city’s southern end. While the project will be completed in phases as funding becomes available, the city anticipates ultimately creating a unique loop trail experience, making Kent a regional biking and recreation destination.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Levenhagen says it’s difficult to make formal requests for funding without a proposal in hand. “Potential funders want to see the big picture. So having the dollars in place isn’t always a necessary first step. Before the loop trail can become a reality, we have to anticipate and address the needs and wants of the current trail and potential loop trail users. We hope this contest will help increase interest in the project.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
