Current Status
Project Complete
The SEPA for Woodland Skatepark was contested and the project
was delayed. The Hearing Examiner issued her decision on Nov.
16, 2006. She affirmed Parks' Determination of Non-Significance
and did not find any errors. This decision was appealed a second
time and another hearing was scheduled for May 21, 2007. Parks'
Determination of Non-Significance was upheld once again.
Notice to Proceed was issued for Sept. 20. The project will progress
until complete in early 2008.
For more information, see the press
release.
