NE 55th Street Steps to the CKC by Kelli Curtis

Last weekend, fourteen hearty souls built new steps connecting the end of 55th street to the Cross Kirkland Corridor. The project was a collaboration between the local neighborhood and the City of Kirkland. The neighbors contributed the labor and purchased the building materials while the city, thanks to the effort of Kari Page, CKC Coordinator, did the preliminary excavation work, provided a site supervisor, and will install a metal handrail. The CKC has quickly become an important part of the neighborhood as a gathering place for exercise and friendship. It is wonderful to have safe steps to access the trail.

Kudos to our neighbors at 55th!
