PROJECT STATUS

May 2007
This Pro Parks Levy project targets funds to acquire land identified in the Capitol Hill neighborhood plan for a new park.

In February 2006, Parks sponsored a public meeting at which citizens suggested several potential sites for acquisition in the Capitol Hill area east of Broadway. Parks is continuing to pursue these potential sites as alternatives to the Group Health parking lots on 16th and 17th Avenues that were identified in the neighborhood plan. Parks was unable to reach agreement with Group Health for the parking lot sites.

Progress is being made negotiating with the owner of a 17,214 sf property at the northwest corner of 16th Ave and E Howell St (south of the landmarked building formerly owned by the Christian Science Church). A public meeting to discuss this proposed acquisition is scheduled for June 14, 2007 from 7-8:30 p.m. at Miller Community Center.

Another Levy acquisition project targeted funds for acquisition in the western portion of the Capitol Hill urban center. In January 2007, Park purchased the 9,600 sf property at Summit Ave. E. and E. John St. for a new neighborhood park in the Capitol Hill area west of Broadway through that project.

LOCATION

Northwest corner of 16th Ave and East Howell St
