City Development Updates

During January 2021, Rotarians heard programs from several city of Kirkland departments, including the deputy director of planning and building.  This week the city provided an update on several major projects, especially with regard to traffic interruptions this week.  Rotarians may visit the various updates at these city website pages:
 
 
Here are the narratives from the city's update ...
 
Totem Lake
 
Commuters should expect delays on Willows Road Northeast this week while Interwest Construction’s crews continue concrete work on the trail that will eventually connect the Cross Kirkland Corridor to the Redmond Central Connector and Eastrail.
 
Cross Kirkland Corridor – Totem Lake
 
A detour around the Cross Kirkland Corridor between 120th Place Northeast and 128th Lane Northeast remains in effect while a pair of Kirkland contractors use it to make progress on two of Totem Lake’s most ambitious capital projects: renovation of Totem Lake Park and construction of Totem Lake Connector pedestrian and bicycle bridge.  
Kirkland’s leaders expect Totem Lake Park to be complete this summer and the Totem Lake Connector to be complete later in 2022. 
 
Cross Kirkland Corridor – Everest/Moss Bay
 
Cross Kirkland Corridor travelers will continue to encounter a short detour around the trail between Seventh Avenue South and Sixth Street South as construction of the Feriton Spur Park expansion continues.  The short detour will direct travelers to a protected pathway along Fifth Place South.  The park’s developer, SRM Development, expects the detour to continue for five months.  During that time, SRM Development will restrict parking along the north portion of Fifth Place South.  SRM Development expects to open Feriton Spur Park to open to the public in September.  The new park will extend the developed section of the Cross Kirkland Corridor to Sixth Street South with 14 improvements, including a pickleball court, urban farm and the corridor’s first bathroom.
