Thank you, Seattle. This Pro Parks project is now complete!
This project was substantially complete in December 2004. The new park plaza
and open space opened to the public in late June 2005. This allowed an establishment
period for the new lawn.
Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle Department of Transportation, and the
Department of Neighborhoods worked with Parks to develop the design that
integrates development of the open space with drainage and future street
improvements. Design elements include:
Relocation of the reservoir fence;
Graded berm with trees, lawn, drainage structures, pipe, and swale;
site for future P-patch; and concrete sidewalk with curb stops on 143rd
St.;
• Pedestrian plaza at northeast corner of Linden and 143rd with curb,
gutter, concrete sidewalk, seating walls, decorative pavers, reintegrated
art work at entry, plantings and lawn, and water oriented focal point;
Graded berm with trees, plantings, lawn, drainage structures, pipe,
swale-pond, and concrete sidewalk with curb stops on Linden Ave.;
Seating wall, graded berm with trees, plantings, and lawn; asphalt walkway;
and storm drainage pipe and structures tied to 138th St.
See schematic design below for plan details.

| PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
The project goal was to develop public open
space amenities around Bitter Lake Reservoir, implementing policy LU-6-3
of the Broadview - Bitter Lake - Haller Lake Neighborhood Plan:
"The City shall move the fence during the rehabilitation of the Bitter Lake
reservoir and, in conjunction with community organizations, property and
business oweners, residents, and other interested parties, develop walking
paths and recreational areas for children and adults, community gardens
and landscaping, which may include a P-patch garden, and additional or other
types of public open space features."
Project design was coordinated with other City departments including Seattle
Public Utilities, Seattle Transportation, Seattle City Light and Department
of Neighborhoods. The city's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs also collaborated
on this project.
