Project Highlights
Peninsula Metropolitan Park District (PenMet) completed the installation of 0.4 mile of paved trail to extend the Cushman Trail from PenMet’s Northeast property corner at 14th Avenue to the Southwest property line at 24th Street NW. An amendment to the scope of this project was submitted and approved during construction to account for 71 feet of paved trail that was not able to be installed on the South end of the project due to WSDOT permit delays and scheduling. Since then PenMet Parks did receive the approval to install the remaining 71 feet of trail to connect 24th Street NW. The final 71 feet of Cushman Trail Extension was installed. The completed installation includes 1.4 acres of landscape improvements including temporary irrigation, trees, vegetation, shrubs and grass slopes installed on both sides of the paved trail. A stormwater system was installed that included catch basins, drainage conveyance piping, a rain garden/bio-retention swale, an ADA trail to the rain garden and an improved storm outfall. 15 lights were installed along the Cushman Trail, In the parking areas, and along the access routes to enhance security and safety. 10 wayfinding signs including parking signs were installed throughout the campus, 4 informational signs and 2 RCO signs were installed at the project site as well. A designated parking area for the Cushman Trail was established and included 2 ADA stalls and 10 standard vehicle parking stalls located at the South end of the Headquarters’ building parking lot adjacent to the South end of the Cushman Trail Extension.
