Mission Creek Interim Use and Management Plan Public Meeting

 Roosevelt Elementary School Music Room
Reeves Middle School Connector to East Bay
Our landscape architect has submitted a Trail Design. This trail will allow students and neighbors to more easily reach Reeves Middle School and will become part of the trail network planned for Priest Point Park. NENA and our partners, the East Bay Drive Neighborhood Association  and Woodland Trail Greenway Association, leveraging grant funds from Thurston County STEPs, will work with the City and Olympia School District to build this trail while Reeves is closed for remodeling.
San Francisco Sidewalk
Major construction was completed by August 18, and now we get to watch the art and landscaping go in.
Miller Ave. Sidewalk
This is our top-priority project for 2006 - making it safe for students to get to school and all of us to get to Friendly Grove Park! Construction is scheduled to begin late this summer, and should be complete by the end of September or early October. The sidewalk will be 6 feet wide and will run from Fir Street to Friendly Grove Road. It will be set back from the street by a  6- to 10-foot separation. Some sections will have a storm water ditch between the sidewalk and the edge of the travel lane. For more information, visit the City's Web site.
