New section of the Cushman Trail opened December, 2009 On a rainy afternoon 25 people celebrated the opening of the next section of Custham Trail in Gig Harbor. On December 17,  Mayor Hunter of Gig Harbor and County Councilmember Terry Lee spoke to the gathering of people in all styles of rain gear. Minutes after the ribbon was cut, the rain clouds descended.  But the first riders and walkers were undanted by a little wet stuff as they set off into the gray.  The following Sunday, the trail section was heavily used as the sun dried the pavement. Trail entrance is off Grandview Drive, behind the gas station at the freeway off ramp.  Not easy to find, so look up for the powerlines.  The trail runs on Tacoma Power's transmission line right of way .

Transportation Advocacy Day

January 28, 2009

Join ForeverGreen advocates in Olympia to ask state legislators for Funding for Trails, Parks and Open Space in Pierce County.

For the last two years, Pierce County Council and MetroParks Tacoma have asked state legislators for the authority for Regional Funding for Parks, Trails and Open Space.  After voter approval with a county-wide election, the funds could raise $10 million a year to help cities build a countywide trail system, and fund regional parks and open space.

Join Transportation Choices Coalition and other progressive transportation and environmental organizations such as the Cascade Bicycle Club, Bicycle Alliance of Washington, Sierra Club, and Futurewise to create more transportation choices. 

Working together we can to save transit service in communities in Washington, make it safer for people to walk and bike safely, and creating incentives that encourage driving less. 

WHEN: January 28, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

WHERE:  United Churches,
110 11th Avenue SE., Olympia 98501
