Survey for the Greenloop Plan
The City of Kirkland is developing the Green Loop Implementation Plan (not to be confused with the Stores to Shores Greenway) to bring to life a longtime community vision: a continuous trail and open space corridor that will link parks, local and regional trails, and destinations in the Finn Hill and Juanita Neighborhoods.
This plan will support habitat preservation, expand outdoor recreation opportunities, and make it easier for people to walk, bike, and explore the city’s green spaces.
We need your input! Your feedback is essential to help guide the vision - including where the Green Loop is located, what it looks like, and how it’s built.
