During his fall quarterly report, the city’s Public Works Director mentioned that the Hazel Wolf Wetlands Preserve now has a parking lot.
John Cunningham, the city’s public works director, showed before and after slides of a turnabout on Southeast Windsor Boulevard where King County had initially built a dead end.
In a negotiation with the Windsor Greens Homeowners Association, the city carved out space for about six parking spaces near the entrance of the preserve.
The city also agreed to landscape the west side of the street and update it with a sidewalk. The Public Works Department started and completed construction this summer.
“I think it’s great. It provides the public with a nice place to park,” said Bob Abbott, a spokesman for the homeowners association.
From the parking spaces, residents can walk east into the preserve.
Cunningham said in a later interview that the project ended up costing about $6,000. He said the city still needs to paint parking stripes, but otherwise it’s ready to go.
“People can go use it now,” Cunningham said.
