Sidewalk Will Aid Access to Sherwood Elementary, Surrounding Neighborhood

City project also includes new curb ramps and pedestrian signals.

Construction is now ongoing on a walkway that will provide a new curb, gutter and 300 feet of sidewalk on the south side of 226th Street SW from 105th Place West to Edmonds Way (SR 104).

And in addition to new pedestrian signals and buttons, the work will include erosion control and minor widening of a portion of the existing  road.

The project will also remove and replace existing curb ramps at all four corners of the intersection of 226th Street SW with Edmonds Way as specified in the plans to comply with Americans With Disabilities requirements.

The project is intended to provide safer access to Sherwood Elementary School and residential neighborhoods. The street is also an entrance to the town of Woodway.

The 226th Street SW improvements, partly funded by the Washington State Department of Transportation, is part of the Edmonds’ six-year transportation improvement program. It identifies partially funded and unfunded projects that are planned or needed over the next six years.

Cassy said on Facebook (sorry to those having trouble logging in today!): Would love to have aRead More splash pad and yes please move it so it is in the full sun. If you are going to have a splash pad we need to take advantage of the sunshine.

A splash pad would be great, but that space is so shady - maybe next to the skateboard park instead.Read More

It's a fantastic idea. But I think the playground equipment should be updated at existing parksRead More first.

If you want to know what it's like to have your religion disrespected, try having school camps,Read More orchestra and band concerts and back-to-school nights on the holiest of your religious holidays (equivalent to Christmas and Easter). Everyone knows that an egg hunt is an Easter event whether it's called that or not. Everyone know that a holiday tree is really a Christmas tree. Trust me, the atheists and/or non-Christians are not trying to destroy Christianity. First, it would be impossible. Second, it would be too dangerous to us personally. Last, I personally respect other's traditions, but I'm not sure the same can always be said in reverse.

Don't we have more important things to worry about? Easter Egg, Egg Hunt, who cares? It's a funRead More community event. And thank you to the sponsers that make this happen.

First of all, the government is not supposed to promote any religion. Secondly, the Easter bunnyRead More and egg hunt has no historical religious significance that I can think of, even though this is part of an American tradition. I am good with deleting the word Easter, and would like to see a departure from any emphasis on candy, which only compounds the diabetic epidemic in this country. Sometimes it is good to rethink the wisdom of something simply because it is a "tradition".
