The last section of off-street path between Lake Whatcom and Bellingham Bay is going to be dedicated this week. Sounds like quite the to-do, with local notables, light refreshments, and a group ride or walk along the trail.
You're welcome to attend.
City of Bellingham press release
When: 1pm Thursday 9/29
Where: 1825 Ellis St. (outside Platt Electric Supply)
This ped/bike bridge over Whatcom Creek was added alongside the Meador St. bridge.
At least some of the new section of trail is paved with a new concrete conglomerate that's been getting some attention. It's partially made out of old porcelain toilets. I think the photos above and below show it, but I'm not positive. It looks a bit like rice crispies instead of regular concrete. Above you can see the difference between what they're used for the path vs what they're using for driveways.
I haven't ridden on it, but it looks like it has very high rolling resistance. We'll have to see.
