Although the Centennial Trail functions primarily as a separated shared-use path, the trail currently terminates at Boulder Beach, forcing pedestrians and bicyclists onto a narrow on-street bicycle lane mixed with vehicular traffic for approximately two-miles. Over time and by obtaining critical funding resources, Spokane County plans to close the “Argonne Gap” to improve connectivity to the surrounding neighborhood, school, enhance trail users experience, and improve safety.
