City of Mercer Island issued the following announcement.
The City's Parks and Recreation Department has begun planning for the future of the docks at the Luther Burbank waterfront. Built in 1974, the docks have less than five years of useful service remaining. In addition, the fixed height piers are not useful for smaller boats and don't serve the needs of most current boaters or the City's boating programs.
The City is exploring the potential to reconfigure one or more of the piers to become floating docks while repairing the remaining pier, pending possible state and federal grant funding. This work will use the Luther Burbank Park Master Plan to guide the design process. The Plan provides a vision of a lively waterfront activity center centered around small boats including power, sail and paddlecraft. The design process will also consider how to make the waterfront more accessible to all users and attractive for the general public.
All boaters and other waterfront users are invited to observe and participate in a virtual design workshop (aka “charrette”) on Thursday, August 6, from 5:00-9:00pm, using teleconferencing technology provided by Zoom.
