Connect more and play more in Kenmore
T
he city of Kenmore is dedicated to providing opportunities for children and adults to stay healthy. Recognized as a “Playful City USA,” Kenmore has been expanding parks and improving and constructing pedestrian and bicycle facilities since its incorporation in 1998. But we can do more. Imagine Kenmore is a community conversation David Baker about how Kenmore residents can play more and connect more through expanded parks and safer streets and trails. In the past few years, the city has developed a parks plan and a transportation plan which represent the community’s vision for parks, recreation facilities and transportation in Kenmore through the year 2035. Recommendations include more waterfront access, active recreation facilities, and many other projects. The city also has a six-year Capital Improvement Program that shows the timing of Parks and Transportation projects that are funded or partially funded. The city is asking residents to help determine if any unfunded projects should move forward in the next few years, since there are limits on what can be paid for with current funding sources. We’re also looking for new ideas from residents. This community process will help determine which projects the city funds first, as new revenue sources are considered.
Timeline Fall 2015: The city is asking for public input in September and October of 2015 through a Community Workshop, interactive online map, outreach at events, and online survey. We will also hold a randomized phone survey. Winter 2015-16: The city will develop a

In addition, the city will examine options for enhanced funding for parks, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Spring 2016: The City Council will review a list of priority projects and potential funding sources and will work with city staff to determine the best way to make these projects a reality.

CITY HALLS FOR BOTHELL AND KENMORE
The new Bothell City Hall is a $46.7 million facility that consolidates the city’s staff from six buildings down to just one. The City Hall is just over 125,000 square feet. AARON KUNKLER, Bothell/Kenmore Reporter
New Bothell City Hall The new Bothell City Hall opened on Oct. 26 with a grand opening Nov. 7. The new building consolidates staff and functions from six buildings into one to improve customer service. It replaces an increasingly costly and physically inadequate City Hall built in 1938, when Bothell’s population was 800. The new building offers services to the public on the first floor, with additional staff housed on three upper floors. The building totals 53,350 feet above grade with 82,000 feet below grade, including a three-level underground parking garage. Dedicated parking stalls will be available for public use during the evening and on weekends.

Let’s Move Kenmore to Target Zero Together! Ask Yourself...How can I be a safer pedestrian, bicyclist, or driver? • Be Seen. Increase your visibility by wearing bright, reflective clothing whenever you are out on the road - riding or walking. Pedestrians, walk facing traffic if there is no sidewalk and as far away from vehicles as possible. • Share the Road. Roads are being used by pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles – look twice for one another. Safety is contagious. • Don’t Be Distracted. Handheld cell phone use is dangerous and against the law when driving. When walking or biking, be better aware of your surroundings by unplugging from electronics.
The Target Zero Initiative was adopted by the Kenmore City Council in April of 2014 with the goal of achieving zero pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and serious injuries in Kenmore by 2025 by increasing awareness of pedestrian, bicyclist and driver safety issues.

What is TRUTH? Pay for one room, the rest of the house is free? Free pad or installation? 50 or 60% Off Sales?
The truth is, our EVERY DAY PRICES are LOWER than sale prices at most other stores. Financing Available six months no interest
Long-time Woodinville merchant, Greg Wilkinson, sells top-quality carpet and custom-built, state-of-theart mattresses. Miracle Carpet was founded to raise money for charity, act as a consumer advocate, and provide the best products at the best prices. This Place Is Amazing. Greg is the kindest, most informative guy. Before you settle on a carpet company that claims to thave the “lowest” prices, you gotta come here. He saved my mom over $2k and the quality is amazing. It’s not everyday you come across a business man that is so kind and wants to help you save money. I really recommend this place. BRITTANY B. Avon Lake OH
Fair Warning: This is a one-man operation in an old house, in downtown Woodinville. Don’t expect a fancy showroom, but do expect a friendly, trustworthy guy who knows his stuff and is happy to work with you to get it right, and a very friendly dog just for good measure. Would do business here again in a heartbeat. -JOANN SILKES, Woodinville
