9.2 Public Works Tidal Restoration Project <br /> The City of Everett Public Works Department constructed a dike breach tidal restoration on <br /> the east side of the Water Pollution Control facility ponds on Smith Island. A portion of the <br /> project is mitigation for impacts to wetlands from dike improvements around the Water <br /> Pollution Control Facility. The project includes construction of a trail connecting the existing <br /> dead-end trail on Union Slough to 12th Street NE.The trail will run along the dikes, on bridge <br /> structures over the dike breaches, and on an existing road north of the ponds. This will <br /> provide an important loop connection of the trail system. <br /> 9.3 Smith Island Enhancements <br /> In association with recent shoreline permits, agreements have been signed that require <br /> project proponents (Glacier Northwest and Wilder Construction Company)to contribute over <br /> $60,000 towards off-site public access improvements on or adjacent to Smith Island.The <br /> money must be spent on capital projects within five years, or it must be refunded to the <br /> applicants. This plan recommends that the funds be spent on the trail link running directly <br /> north from Langus Riverfront Park. In addition,the City of Marysville will contribute-1 <br /> percent of the project costs of a sewer line through Everett to enhance public access <br /> opportunities for Smith Island. Potential uses for these funds might be improvements to the <br /> . Spencer Island Trail approach and parking, viewing areas/platforms near wetland habitats, <br /> or similar enhancements to the proposed dike trail. <br /> • <br /> • <br /> Shoreline Public Access Plan Update 2019 61 54 <br />
