Chain Lake Road Shared Path Extension

Project Description

The City of Monroe received a federal grant through Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) to design and purchase additional right-of-way for extending the shared sidewalk/path north along Chain Lake Road and end at Brown Road. The sidewalk would match to the existing sidewalk in the vicinity of Rainier View Road. Construction funding has been received and is scheduled to begin in 2021.
