My Ballard reader Silver and several other Ballard residents walked along the Burke-Gilman trail “missing link” on Monday.

Silver organized the walk in the forum, not as a protest, but as a way to learn more about the route. “We were interested in seeing what current conditions are like for pedestrians, as well as for bicyclists, along the missing link,” she wrote us. “Several of the group were avid walkers, and several more were primarily bicyclists.” Silver took dozens of photos along the way, documenting the conditions, and she posted them here.
