<br /> Executive Summary
<br /> The city of Everett Riverfront Development Public Amenities project integrates a composite of public
<br /> and private developments on an expansive property along the west bank of the Snohomish River. Of
<br /> the 217 acres that make up the Riverfront Development site, 119 acres are within the private
<br /> development area, and 98 acres are within the public domain, accommodating trails, parks, and open
<br /> space. Parkland and stormwater treatment facilities with trails to the south of the private development
<br /> provide expanded opportunities for public use. The planned private developments address residential
<br /> and commercial site uses, and two large public projects address transportation and infrastructure
<br /> improvements. The Public Amenities Master Plan, the subject of this report, puts its design focus on the
<br /> recreational opportunities of the open space on the Riverfront Development site, linking the private and
<br /> public spaces as a coherent whole.
<br /> The Riverfront Development site includes buildable upland areas and extensive wetlands and wetland
<br /> buffers, an existing city park as well as a planned new park, and a complex of streams and drainages
<br /> that pass through the site and connect to the river. The Public Amenities Master Plan complements and
<br /> expands upon the existing public amenities and makes ties to the amenities planned within the private
<br /> development. Interpretive stations will celebrate the site's unique physical and ecological attributes and
<br /> its historic role in the local lumber industry. As part of a city and region-wide network of recreation,
<br /> education, and conservation opportunities, the new Riverfront Development public amenities will form a
<br /> durable park legacy for future generations of the city of Everett.
