| Ravenna Creek Daylighting
in Ravenna Park Project Description: The project will daylight 400-600' of Ravenna Creek in Ravenna Park. The creek now drops into a sewer north of the Ravenna ballfield. King County will be building a pipe to carry the creek to a city storm drain, which connects to Union Bay (Lake Washington). As an alternative to King County building a pipe through the park, we will restore the creek to the surface within the park. The creek will be connected to the new pipeline near NE 55th street. Parks will work closely with citizens and King County to design a route that accommodates current athletic field uses. Artwork will be created to mark a symbolic connection between the Park and Union Bay. Construction is scheduled for summer 2003. What is Happening Now: Field work will begin in late January 2002. Soil samples will be taken, wetlands around the creek will be located, and a survey crew will be on site to locate existing park features. Information gathered will be used to guide the design.
