Project Description

Construction begins: Third quarter 2007
Project complete:

(2007 CIP) This project improves the existing boat ramp system at Warren G. Magnuson Park by adding a floating dock at the end of one of the piers to relieve boat congestion and provide access for users with disabilities. The project also replaces the deteriorated planked ramps, increases the length of the ramps, and rebuilds the decking on the three piers. A 2002 grant from the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation in the amount of $200,000 reimburses the appropriation from the CRF - Unrestricted Subaccount included in Ordinance 120740. This project supports the Mayor's Restore Our Waters Strategy to improve Seattle's aquatic environments. 11/29/06: Est 3 $570,000 (submitted 10/31/06) entered in Summit.
