Neighborhood Connections Project Status 

Feb. 12, 2009

In April, 2008 you voted to spend our $29,000 Neighborhood 
Connections grant money on the following projects. 


Project 1: Cotton Hill Park Trail 
Status:  Complete! 
Cost: $5000 


Project 2: Widen and place asphalt path along east side of 116th Ave 
NE walkway (north of NE 92nd St). 
Status:  Complete! Thank you to Mark Berntsen's Public Works crew, who 
worked really hard to do a beautiful job on this, and squeezed it into 
their busy schedule! 
Cost: $6500 


Project 3: Asphalt 116th Ave NE walkway between NE 88th and NE 92nd Streets 
Status: Complete! Thank you to Public Works!
Cost: TBD 


Project 4: 116th Ave NE and NE 87th St. - Enhance neighborhood 
entrance by landscaping with drought tolerant, low maintenance plants. 
Refurbish kiosk. 
Status: 
- We are planning to refurbish the kiosk and repaint the guardrail in the spring/summer.
- There continue to be too many accidents on this corner to justify 
spending money on landscaping. The city has been putting a lot of effort into figuring out 
ways to prevent cars from going off the road here. We'll see how it 
goes this winter and reassess landscaping plans in the spring. 
- The homeowner would like to replace his fence, but doesn't feel it 
makes sense to do so until the accident rate drops. 
- Thank you to the homeowner, who has been watering our trees, mowing 
and weedeating the area around the kiosk and under the trees, and 
washing the plexiglass kiosk door! 
Cost: TBD 


Project 5: 112th Ave NE and NE 87th St. - Enhance neighborhood 
entrance by landscaping with drought tolerant, low maintenance plants. 
Refurbish kiosk. 
Status: Partially complete: Area has been weeded, 19 yards of 
compost rototilled in (thank you to all the volunteers!), and wood chips 
applied. We'll plant in the spring. We'll refurbish the
kiosk in the spring or summer. 
Cost: TBD
