Project Status - April 2019

The Rotary Pavilion project on the CKC is chugging right along!

1-Kirkland Parks Foundation has reached (exceeded, actually) their funding goal for removal of trees, fencing, native garden (thank you to all the generous donors!)

2-The Rotary Club of Kirkland has completed raising funds for the pavilion structure

3-Rotary District 5030 has awarded a grant to cover 2 picnic tables for the pavilion

4-The rails were moved to the site on April 4th with the help of Rotarians with safety vests and signage in front and in back of the truck. (Here are some photos - it was pretty spectacular!  Those rails weigh almost 1 ton each.)

The rails had been part of  siding behind what is now Chain Line Brewery.

  It just took a bit of digging to get them ready to move.

Moving the rails on the CKC to the project site 

Unloading the rails at the project site.

5-The cottonwood trees (aka giant weeds) are down

Here's what the site looks like now with the trees down.  

Help yourself to some wood!

 (The construction trailer is there for major city work on Kirkland Avenue.)

6-The Rotary Club should hear from 4Culture soon re a grant to cover installation of rails and historic signage

7-David Aubry gave a progress report to the Kirkland City Council on April 16th.

WHEW! (Good work, David!!!!)
