What to expect

Work begins during summer 2025 with tree removal along the 1.3 mile shared use path. 

WSDOT recognizes the importance of trees. They are much more than aesthetic. 

WSDOT has worked to minimize tree removal. 35-percent of the trees that will be removed are classified as being in poor condition or dead. 

 

The proposed Gravelly-Thorne Connector will provide access to Lakewood neighborhoods of Tillicum and Woodbrook for pedestrians and bicyclists from Gravelly Lake Drive south to Thorne Lane.
