Glide onto the sidewalk here to get to the pedestrian crossing signal.
Use the pedestrian crossing signal to get across Gilman. This one triggers almost immediately so pick a good car to stop.
Go right on the sidewalk
Just past the caboose, turn left onto 224th (probably no street sign) You can keep going on the sidewalk and turn directly onto the trail if your tires are up to it, but the pavement is easier than the gravel trail.

Careful of the pointless bollards

Still bridge 13, but you get to go over it too.

Cut Right back to the pavement of 224th Ave, or continue on the trail out to Gilman

Take the driveway Left toward the school administration buildings
Curve off to the Right to the end of the parking lot
Little stretch of dirt/gravel here.

Ride the sidewalk for this stretch back to Front Street
