EVERETT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Objective 8.7.7 To secure additional rights-of-way for paths and open spaces whenever feasible. The City shall: Policy 8.7.1 Require pathways along the harborfront and the riverfront to allow for walking, biking and jogging and connect them with other pathways and trails in the city. Include native landscaping in the design to prevent erosion, reduce landslides and improve water quality. Encourage and maintain public waterfront access and activity space. Policy 8.7.2 Encourage numerous opportunities to be close to the water, but keep the intrusion of motorized vehicles to a minimum. Policy 8.7.3 Proactively pursue safe, convenient, and attractive public access to waterfront areas in cooperation with federal, state and local agencies and private business. Policy 8.7.4 Pursue opportunities for public access in any redevelopment proposals as land uses change along the harborfront and riverfront. Policy 8.7.5 Develop a palette of appropriate pedestrian furnishings that reflects the long- standing, historical image of a "working waterfront," rather than a contrived, tourist -oriented theme. Policy 8.7.6 Encourage new development to reflect and continue the "working waterfront" character, rather than thematic motifs not traditional to Everett. Policy 8.7.7 Retain, enhance and preserve historic sites, structures, and artifacts whenever possible. When these features cannot be retained, commemorate with interpretive signs. Policy 8.7.8 Provide pockets of public space at several locations along the harborfront and the riverfront to allow for community events and celebrations. Policy 8.7.9 Encourage industrial and retail uses supportive of the working waterfront to be intermixed along the harborfront. Single -use retail centers should be discouraged.
