The in basket: A anonymous e-mailer asked on June 1 where a person is allowed to park at the north end of the Clear Creek Trail to use the trail. “It’s marked no parking except across the fog line on the overpass,” the e-mail said.

The out basket: Both county and state officials urge people wanting
to use the trail to park at Silverdale Rotary Park on Silverdale
Way, just north of the Waaga Way interchange.
With Silverdale Way under construction on both sides of the park
just now, I can see why that would not be the first choice of
someone approaching Silverdale in either direction on Highway 3.
Until the state finishes the multi-million-dollar interchange it’s
building, getting from the freeway to Silverdale Way is a
hassle.
Nonetheless, parking is limited, if there is any at all, at the
trails north end at the Trigger Avenue interchange. A law forbids
parking on a bridge, which would include the freeway overpass
there, within 30 feet of a stop sign or driveway, where a sign
forbids it or with the wheels not fully outside the fog line.
I asked if it would be legal to park outside the fog line on the
off-ramp more than 30 feet from the stop sign, but Brian chose not
to call that legal either. “I could see if one car started it,
others may follow and we would have a problem at the small
intersection,” he said.
