We are currently working with SDOT on an urban pedestrian trail that links Lake Union to Elliot Bay, tying in the upcoming South Lake Union neighborhood with the Seattle Center, SAM Sculpture Park and Myrtle Edwards Park. This fast-paced contract involves establishing a route, primarily within existing street rights-of-way, that takes into account current and future major transportation projects. Innovative wayfinding graphics, kiosks and "activations" are all to be implemented by the May 2012 50th anniversary of the World's Fair. Our work includes a Vision Plan for future trail improvements, including future "side-loops", public art, and cellphone apps providing historic, cultural and lifestyle info on the trail route.
