City Schedules Public Hearing on City's 6-Year Capital Improvement Program
The City Council will be discussing and adopting the City’s Six-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) this fall. The CIP is a funding plan for the City’s infrastructure. Please come to a Public Hearing on October 11, 2007 7:30 pm to provide the City with your ideas and opinions on future improvements to the City’s infrastructure.
The City has been working over the past couple of years to complete the City’s sewer system, open up Grace Cole Nature Park, add a traffic signal at NE 153rd and Bothell Way, and add a pedestrian pathway at the end of 39th Avenue NE to improve pedestrian access to the Towne Centre.
New projects that could be included in the CIP might be:
- improving pedestrian walkability in school zones and on major arterials including sidewalks and bike lanes,
- walking paths using unopened City right-of-ways to improve connections between neighborhoods and improved walking access to the Towne Centre,
- adding a pedestrian bridge through Blue Heron Park to improve safe pedestrian access to the Towne Centre from the Hamlin Road and Sheridan Heights neighborhoods,
- implementing the recommendations of the Legacy Project that the citizens and City have been working on,
- replacing aging drainage culverts to improve water flow, water quality, and fish passage.
