Jackson Park Trail – Update

update 4/30/08 – The idea for funding a trail through bonds will not work. But, Tim Gallagher definitely supports the idea of trails at all Seattle public golf courses. We are thinking about other possible funding sources.

Seattle Parks Superintendent Tim Gallagher spoke at North District Council last night. I asked him about the possibility of a trail around Jackson Park Golf Course. Tim is already working on this. He has a plan for doing much needed capital improvements – and putting trails around all Seattle Municipal golf courses. He would fund the projects through bonds backed by the revenue from the courses. He is working with Greg Nickels and says there is nothing for citizens to do at this point.
