The source of funds for this project is Fund 354, Program 091 (CIP-3). All related costs are estimated at a not to exceed amount of $150,000. Project summary statement: The City of Everett will improve an informal trail network located in the natural area between Loganberry Lane Off Leash Dog Area and Kasch Park. Excessive social trail-making in the area has degraded understory vegetation in wetlands and critical areas buffers. Environmental science consultant services will be contracted to conduct wetland assessments and create mitigation plans in compliance with City of Everett’s Critical Areas ordinance. Trails will be enhanced for better accessibility, drainage, and protection of the natural environment. Some social trails will be removed and restored with native plantings. A new section of trail will be created to improve access to Kasch Park, enhancing walking connections between the Holly Neighborhood and existing park amenities. The project will also include installation of signage for wayfinding and environmental education. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Adopt an Ordinance creating a special improvement project entitled “Loganberry Trail Improvements”, Fund 354, Program 091 to accumulate all costs for the project.
