Cedar Mill Pathway System
One day a Cedar Mill resident discovered a heavy cedar plaque in her shed.

“Ghost bikes” are a traditional way of honoring and memorializing a cyclist killed by a motor vehicle. Here in Cedar Mill you may have noticed a white bike attached to a pole at the intersection of Cornell and Old Barnes Rd., near Sunset Veterinary.
