This is a super nice "bike path" that was built in part with stimulus funds. It goes from an indian casino in Whatcom County to the association reservation. It was built because too many people from the reservation were getting run down walking on the unlit road at night. The road is still unlit, but this bike path is equipped with solar powered lights linked together with sensors so the lights only come on as you need them.
As you can see this is much more useful than a bridge that up until last night carried 70,000 vehicles a day.
