PROJECT STATUS

February 2010
Construction documents are complete. The project is expected to bid in February and construction is expected to break ground in spring 2010.

The public process has been completed. The consultant, Mithun, presented two phases of the completed design to the communty at the fourth public meeting on September 10, 2008. One of the designs is what the current Parks construction budget can support and the other design included more features, including P-patches. With the addition of the P-Patch funds, the expanded design is what will be built.

The Pro Parks Levy provides $287,788 for planning, design and construction of the park. The Seattle P-Patch program has provided another $150,000.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION


The goal of this project is to develop a community park at the northeast corner of E. John Street and Summit Avenue E.

Parks purchased the .21 acre property in 2007. The current use, that of a parking lot, will continue until shortly before construction starts in spring 2010.

Parks held a public Open House at the Cal Anderson Shelter House in November 2007. The firm of Mithun was hired as the Landscape Architect in charge of design and construction. Mithun presented three design concepts at a community meeting on April 3, 2008, and another, further refined concept, at a public meeting on June 4. The concepts, as well as the meeting minutes, are posted on this web site.

Mithun presented versions of the evolving design to the Design Commission on May 15 and July 17, 2008. The design has evolved in response to comments from the community, Parks project review committee, and the Design Commission.

See the Pro Parks acquisition webpage for more information.
