The project is (basically*) done and now it’s time to celebrate!
Come for food, drinks, and the chance to meet many of the people involved in getting this fantastic new bike path built, including advocates, elected officials and others. See the 200+ newly-planted trees, and hear about art that will be added next year. SDOT is planning to turn on the new bike counter, so let’s turn out and get some impressive numbers logged!
From SDOT:
Join us in celebrating the end of major construction for the East Marginal Way Corridor Improvement Project!

Where: E Marginal Way S and S Hanford St (map)
When: Saturday, October 25, from 10:30 AM to 12 PM
Ride with a group: Bike or scoot to the event with our partners at Cascade Bicycle Club, West Seattle Bike Connections and Best Side Cycling.
Ride from Seacrest Park in West Seattle
Ride from the Seattle Ferry Terminal in Downtown
West Seattle Bike Connections members will also lead a ride from the Alaska Junction.
Meet in the Wells Fargo Parking Lot at 44th/Alaska at 9:00-9:30am

*The segment on the east side of the street between Spokane St and Horton St will open in early 2026.
Improving East Marginal Way S has been our top priority since 2012. Separation of bike traffic from heavy truck traffic will make it dramatically safer and less stressful to ride a bike on the primary route from West Seattle to downtown and beyond.
