Woodinville City Council holds first 2019 meeting
The Woodinville City Council recently held its first meeting of the new year. The council discussed a number of topics that will have an impact on the community and the immediate area.
The Washington State Transportation Improvement Board offered a grant in the amount of $502,701 to the city, which the council voted to accept. Woodinville will use the funds to finish the sidewalk on 124th Avenue NE, near Woodmoor Elementary. By accepting the grant, Woodinville will be able to add a planted strip and bike lane, in addition to finishing the sidewalk. A pedestrian crossing lane is being designed by the Northshore School District, in concert with the city.
In another matter, Brandon Buchanan, the city manager, described the Joint Use, Maintenance and Easement agreement with regard to the Woodinville Civic Campus to the council in detail. The campus will include retail spaces, the YMCA, multi-family housing, and the Old Woodinville School, as well as several public spaces. The spaces will be available for use by the community in perpetuity, in spite of the fact Woodinville Civic Campus Partners (WCCP), a private entity, owns the project. Buchanan said discussions are still continuing with WCCP as to the boundaries and size of public thoroughfares. There will also be 397 parking spots beneath the campus.
Officials working on matters like this can use printing services to create a community newsletter for residents.
