If you were planning to bike with your sweetie to make out by the Sri Chinmoy statue in Fremont on Valentine’s Day, I’m afraid I have bad news for you. A crew will be filming along the Burke-Gilman Trail between the Fremont and Aurora Bridges Saturday. Trail users should expect intermittent holds starting at points near each bridge between 2 and 6 p.m. So you’ll have to wait or just bike on Northlake Way, which is more like a parking lot access road than a street in this area.
The Seattle Film Office reached out to Seattle Bike Blog to spread the word. It’s great to see the office being proactive, perhaps the result of some procedure changes following the Bicycle Weekends fiasco in September. More details:
We are writing to share awareness of a film production which will have temporary impacts to a short section of the Burke Gilman Trail. To ensure safety for the public and for the film production crew, our office is coordinating with Seattle Parks & Recreation, Seattle Department of Transportation, and Seattle Police Department for the filming. We would like your help us get the word out in advance to bicyclists who may be impacted by the filming activity. Additionally, do you have any suggestions of other biking community media or neighborhood organizations we should contact to share this announcement?

Details: Film production assistants in orange vests will be performing 2-3 minute holds of bicyclists and pedestrians during takes while the production films an actor riding a bicycle along the Burke Gilman Trail at the turn between the Fremont Bridge and N Northlake Way. Please see attached map for specific location details.
Why Here? The production has chosen Seattle as its filming location because of its varied location “looks,” and has chosen this section of the Burke Gilman Trail because of its spectacular view of the Ship Canal and Aurora Bridge in the background.
