History
After the Milwaukee rail track was removed many years ago, the right-of-way remained undeveloped and was held in reserve for future transportation needs by Spokane County. In 2012, the city secured a collaborative agreement with the county that allowed for development of a paved shared-use path through the property.
The first section of trail was completed in 2015 with subsequent sections following per the city's ability to secure funding.
