The issue with the 61st Ave connection to Burke-Gilman that it's _very_ steep. Fixing it is on Kenmore's agenda, with funding tied to Sound Transit 3's RapidRide construction starting this year. (See https://www.kenmorewa.gov/our-city/projects/current-projects/sr-522-west-segment-b-improvements-57th-to-61st-avenues for a light overview.) But obviously, that doesn't help for this closure.
King County could suspend parking on 175th and use that for a walking detour, but there's no paved connection from that section of parking to 61st Ave NE, and setting up a temporary barriered area in the road would create a dangerous two-way single-traffic-lane next to a park popular with children.
So. Closure. Plan accordingly.

Burke-Gilman is going to be closed for up to five days in Kenmore between 61st Ave NE and 65th Ave NE starting February 16th. It's probably hillside reinforcement.
People on bikes can detour onto 175th, which runs in parallel. It's low-traffic, but what traffic is there includes heavy industrial from the cement plant.
Since there are no sidewalks on 175th - at all - people on foot are advised to go uphill to Bothell Way. Despite some business driveways, that length of sidewalk is perfectly reasonable, and next to a bus lane rather than full traffic. However, the climb up from 61st is very steep and is _NOT_ ADA-compliant.

saw this on burke-gilman while going to the drug store today: trail work in lake forest park
there ARE going to be detours and the only true "closure" according to the _text_ is for _five_ days - and even then there will be a detour, so it's not a complete closure.
And it's also not a month _and_ five days. so it's confusing sign.

based on debris the theory that LFPTC took some massive windshear up from the lake looks pretty solid - burke-gilman is clear to at least NE 130th but the further you get from LFPTC and Uplake (which strides LFP and Kenmore) the less debris is piled up on the sides

SDOT’s new gravel pits under the Ballard Bridge baffle riders, more changes coming ‘in 2023’
SDOT completed work on an “interim” redesign of the problematic track crossing under the Ballard Bridge for people attempting to bike the Missing Link of the Burke-Gilman Trail, but the new gravel pits sporadically placed in the area seems to […]
