Southwest King County Regional Trail Plan

About the Project

The City of Federal Way is leading the development of the Southwest King County Regional Trails Plan. This project will identify a trail network to boost bicycle and pedestrian connectivity to transit and neighborhood jurisdictions, as well as recreation and transportation opportunities within the city.

The SW King County Regional Trails Plan presents an important and exciting opportunity for the City of Federal Way to achieve community and mobility goals. This project is intended to:

  • Analyze land use, transit, and the existing on- and off-street transportation network to identify gaps and needs in the multimodal trail network.
  • Identify corridors for accommodating multimodal travel in and around designated urban growth centers, as well as trail connectivity between Federal Way/SW King County and the northern and eastern parts of King County, as well as to Pierce County.
  • Develop preliminary design concepts and estimates for key routes.
  • Assemble the research, analysis, design, and recommendations in a plan that provides the City with information and strategies it needs to create a comprehensive trail network well positioned for grant funding.

Steering Committee

A Steering Committee is being formed to serve as an advisory group to the City of Federal Way in this trail plan's development. The Steering Committee is intended to provide technical guidance, essential input on the Plan’s recommendations, and to represent the community's needs and interests pertaining to walking and biking and overall mobility via trails.
