Current Status
April 2008At the community workshop on April 12, 2008 Mithun presented three park schematic concepts to the public. Participants made comments on each design and the concepts in the designs. The designs are:
Concept 1: Blue Streak
Concept 2: Quiet Center
Concept 3: Overlook
The concepts can be seen below. We gathered feedback from the community
and will use this information to develop a preferred design.
March 2008 Update
The community meeting on February 20 was well attended with approximately
85 participants. The information gathered at that meeting along with
additional outreach efforts will be used as the ingredients to prepare
a scope and vision for the park. This month the design team will use
that information to prepare very rough design ideas which will be presented
for comment at the second community workshop on April 12, 2008.
February 2008 Update
Parks received (8) Statements of Qualifications from local design firms
and interviewed (4) on January 23. We were fortunate to have high caliber
firms submit. The selection team recommended Mithun as the design consultant.
A list of community members for the Project Advisory Team (PAT) have
been identified. The first two PAT meetings will be Feb. 13 & Feb.
27, the week prior and after the first community meeting.
Public Involvement Summary
Project Description
Budget:
$800,000
In 2005, the cost for developing the park using a very general scope
was estimated at approximately $3.7 million. In 2007, $800,000 was allocated
for planning and design. The department will seek construction funding
in the future.
Construction begins:
TBD
Project complete:
TBD
In 2006, a purchase and sale agreement was negotiated with King County. The City made an initial payment in November 2006 and will make a second payment for the balance at closing which is estimated to be in April 2009.
This project will convert an existing 3.73 acre park and ride facility to a new urban park. The park will provide open space to serve existing and future residential development in the area. It will provide amenities for low, medium and high intensity uses creating spaces and amenities for contemplation and recreation. A comfort station may be considered. The final scope will be determined through the planning process. The new park will be connected to and integrated into the overall fabric of the community.
