Downtown Orientation to Snohomish River – Initial Discussion
City Council Meeting
7:00 p.m., December 16, 2008
George Gilbertson Board Room
Snohomish School District Resource Center
1601 Avenue D, Snohomish, WA 98290
The City’s Strategic Plan, Imagine Snohomish: Promoting Vitality and Preserving Character, calls for strengthening the downtown’s orientation to the riverfront. We are fortunate to have a downtown on a waterfront, but many people feel most downtown properties and buildings are oriented away from, rather than toward, the Snohomish River. This opinion applies to City-owned property and buildings as well as private property.
On December 16th, City staff that will offer some ideas and suggestions for strengthening the inter-relationship between the Historic Business District and the Snohomish River. This meeting constitutes the first such discussion and no final decisions or actions are expected. The focus of this initial discussion will be the area between Avenue D (to the west) and Cady Park (to the east).

Thank you for posting documents, photos Corbitt, on riverfront orientation...really helpful, worth reading.
ReplyDeleteFrom pics: Concerned about IPM, esp.Ivy (?) growing up trees. I believe identifying trees of value to trailusers for shade, open view consideration and bank stability should be a priority..to save those trees worth saving. Planting native trees, shrubs based on an initial landscape plan for the trail would be a plus in immediately improving the area, covering building features unattractive to view and highlighting other attractive assets, while additionally improving the view from buildings. Plant identification plaques provides an activity for trail users.
