City of Edmonds officials cut the ribbon Thursday afternoon for the Shell Valley Emergency Access road, aimed at giving those living in the Shell Valley neighborhood a safer way to get home during during icy and snowy weather.
The road, with an entrance just east of Yost Park on Main Street, will also provide a key pedestrian and bicycle link between the Shell Valley neighborhood and the Five Corners area.
The primary route into the neighborhood, Pioneer Way, is a very steep and winding road, which can become hazardous during icy weather. Mayor Dave Earling noted that a fully-loaded fire truck has already successfully tested the route, which will provide easier access for emergency vehicles as well.
