PROJECT STATUS
December 2008
Thank you Seattle this project is complete!
The project to restore the Peace Park and make a connection to the
Cheshiahud Loop is complete. As construction fences came down on
the afternoon of Nov 21, 2009 joggers and sight seers moved through
the site. Fences to protect the newly seeded grass will remain in
place until the lawn is well established.
The renovation work included ADA accessibility, safety modifications,
new sidewalk and paths, new stairway, and parking for ADA, bus
and maintenance use. Landscaping and planting renovation are also
planned.
In conjunction with the construction of the Peace Park improvements
we will also construct a segment of the Cheshiahud Loop along
NE 40th Street from 7th Ave NE to the Peace Park. This segment
will provide a link between the Burke Gilman Trail and the University
Bridge. For more information on the Cheshiahud Loop check the
