Rhododendron park waterfront & natural open space access

closed

This project is part of The Walkways & Waterways approved 2016 ballot measure, and the result of the City’s “Imagine Kenmore” public outreach initiative. Kenmore residents confirmed that safe routes for pedestrians and cyclists and connecting residents with the City’s public open space and waterfront are top priorities. This project will improve public access to the Sammamish River through new trails and environmental enhancements. The big blackberry patch alongside the shared boat launch driveway has been cleared. Native plants will be added around the wetland and along the riverfront. A new boarding float on the river will be provided under the same construction contract but funded separately from the Walkways and Waterways bond issue. Key project goals are to improve public access to waterfront and to preserve and enhance ecological functions of existing wetlands and their buffers.
