Box 322 Pullman, WA             99163 Contact us by email		Three Forks Wayside Project Beginning during 2010, the Pullman Civic Trust started working with the City of Pullman and other civic groups to develop a new wayside park along the Pullman Loop Trail. The new Three Forks Wayside will be a place for people to rest, to meet, to picnic, to park their bikes, and to enjoy the scenes around them. The wayside will be located at major intersection of the Grand Avenue Greenway trail segment with the College Hill Climb segment and a new access trail from the Presidents Grove on N. Grand Avenue. The College Hill Climb, the new pedestrian bridge and the upcoming access trail were all funded by Pullman Proposition 1 in 2007. The project will consist of several stages. First, earthen berms produced by the 2010 dredging of Missouri Flat Creek will be contoured as illustrated in the park model. The City will construct a bridge over the creek and pave the new segment from the Presidents Grove across the bridge to the Grand Avenue Greenway. South <---> North Model by Don Heil A view of the future wayside park looking west from College Hill. The trail from College Hill comes down on the bottom right. The new access trail intersects on the top left. Railroad tracks form the back edge of the view. Next, benches, bike racks, and waste receptacles will bring comfort and convenience to the Wayside. The amenities will incorporate the N. Grand Greenway bristlecone pine theme. PCT is grateful to Pullman Rotary Club for the award of their $1500 Irving M. Field Grand Project for 2011. The additions will be funded in part this grant. Trail users will enjoy knowing that a bench awaits tired legs, waste receptacles will allow disposal (especially handy for dog-walkers), and bike racks will let riders park while exploring the new hillside of the berms bordering the trail or getting snacks from restaurants along Grand Ave. Thank you, Rotary Club! Design by David Hoyt We very much appreciated help from Dr. Ole Sleipness and his Recreation Design class at WSU, whose ideas helped guide our thinking and shape the outcome. Each student visited the site and walked the trail, then created conceptual design plans that integrated and incorporated existing buildings, outdoor spaces, potential uses, and plantings. Dr. Sleipness and his 2011 Recreation Design students THANK YOU to all who have given a gift for the Trail Marker Signs or any of our other projects.
