The Interurban Trail is a 24-mile, regional, nonmotorized trail that stretches from Shoreline to Everett along the route once used by electric interurban rail cards. Lynnwood's portion of the Interurban Trail is 3.8-miles long, continuing from Mountlake Terrace from the south at 212th St SW to the north end of the Alderwood shopping mall at the intersection of Ash Way and Maple.
With the pending completion of the last major missing-link of the corridor to further separate the trail from motorized traffic at 212th St SW, Lynnwood is shifting it's focus to improving the overall utility and aesthetic of the trail through landscaping and amenities in order to create a safe and comfortable pedestrian and bicyclist environment that betters serves the community.
A planning effort to create a 20-year master plan with the aim to better understand the community's needs of the Interurban Trail, how it can function better, and support improvements to be a stronger community asset began is nearing completion. The draft report is currently available for review and comment at: http://www.lynnwoodwa.gov/City-Services/Engineering-Services/Public-Projects-and-Programs/Parks-and-Trails/Interurban-Trail-Improvements.htm . The final report will be presented to the Lynnwood City Council on Monday, September 17, 2018.
This plan outlines a number of improvement projects planned for the corridor including the 40th Avenue West Trailhead project currently under construction and 212th St Missing Link (see below).

PUD System Improvements & Trail Closure
 From September 11, 2018 – February 28, 2019, the Trail will temporarily close the between 52nd Ave W and roughly 44th Ave W. Please see links below for additional details. The Trail will be closed at three points, and signage will be placed for the public: at 52nd Ave W, at 208th St SE, and at the Lynnwood Transit Center parking lot trail access point near 44th Ave W.
This closure allows the PUD to upgrade transmission lines and construct a new substation in Cedar Valley. The improvements will support continued reliability, growth in Lynnwood’s City Center area, and planned light rail service to Lynnwood.
