Plan Section 1 <br /> Description of Improvements and Details <br /> 1.0 Beach Trail from Mukilteo to Pigeon Creek No. 1 <br /> Currently, the shoreline from Pigeon Creek No. 1 <br /> to Mukilteo consists of a riprap wall supporting the <br /> railroad lines. Because the rail lines cut off <br /> sediment deposition from natural bluff erosion, the <br /> beach has eroded away, much to the detriment of _ <br /> the local marine ecology. <br /> The construction of a shoreline terrace, beach <br /> restoration, and a public access trail is proposed j <br /> to provide a link between Mukilteo and Everett and <br /> to enhance the shoreline ecology. Restoring <br /> the beach will likely increase forage fish Looking north from Howarth Park. <br /> spawning opportunities, intertidal habitat, (A typical rock revetment is shown in the <br /> and near-shore conditions.
