(July 26)

In the next few weeks, crews will finish placing new traffic signals and streetlights along freshly paved streets and sidewalks on the site. This fall, the first $220 million stage of construction on the buildings and parking spaces is scheduled to begin.

Estimates have placed the cost of the new park at about $17 million. Almost all the money needed for that portion has been raised; the city just received a $1 million grant from the Washington state Recreation and Conservation Office to help cover the cost. Construction will begin in October, and the park is expected to open in 2017.
