In 2015, the Echo Lake Neighborhood Association annual picnic will return to Echo Lake Park at Ashworth Ave. N. and North 200th Street. The newly renovated park will have play areas for children, better picnic facilities, and improved lakefront and grounds. It should be very enjoyable! The planned date is July 21, 2015.
The final leg of construction for the Aurora Corridor project is proceeding; work is being done from @ 192nd street north, through 200th, and end at 205th. Lanes will be closed and construction begun on the west side of Aurora Avenue North; as the west side is finished, work will shift to the east side of the street. The first thing to be addressed will be the utilities, undergrounding electricity and excavating for surface water retention.
For best information, please go to the website shown below. The Capital Improvement Plan includes information about the highway, the trail, and the park improvements. Be prepared for unruly traffic, dust and noise! The final result will be delightfully accessible sidewalks, turn lanes, pedestrian comfort, re-graded and resurfaced roadways, and a lovely new look, with retaining walls and greenery.

Beginning November 1, 2013, the City will be switching to a new mass communication system called Alert Shoreline.
|
Alert Shoreline is the City's new mass communication system. In the event of an emergency, you will receive vital public safety notifications via text, email, or your home phone. You decide how you want to be informed. You can also input several different addresses of places important to you, such as your home, your child's school, and/or your work.
If there is an emergency near one of those locations, you will be notified. Should disaster strike, you'll receive key information on where to go and what to do to keep you and your family safe. In addition to emergency notifications, you will also be able to select from a range of community topics important to you to receive periodic updates. Such topics could include Aurora Corridor construction, Emergency Management, park and pool closures, or Neighborhoods. The new system will take the place of the City's current eNews system via Constant Contact. It is quick and easy to register, and it's another way the City is working to keep you informed about the issues important to you. Sign up at shorelinewa.gov/alert. |
