Seattle Parks and Recreation will host the third of three public meetings on Monday, April 23, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., on proposed improvements to Queen Anne Boulevard. The meeting will be held at the McClure Middle School cafeteria, 1915 First Ave. W.
Queen Anne Boulevard is a 3.75-mile park facility that includes many sections of road surrounding the crown of Queen Anne Hill. The project will upgrade the historic Queen Anne Boulevard, including consideration of pedestrian amenities, lighting and landscaping. New walkways on West McGraw Place, sidewalk repair, removal of excess paving, new land- scaping, signage and construction priorities will be discussed.
The Pro Parks Levy provides $500,000 for the design, construction and project management of the improvements. Approved by Seattle voters in 2000, the $198.2-million Pro Parks Levy funds more than 100 projects throughout the city over a period of eight years. Projects include improvements to athletic fields, playgrounds, trails and community centers and parks. Funding also increases green spaces, supports zoo programs and enhances park maintenance.
