Council hears resident concerns about speeding at Anderson Park and reviews parks, docks and stream work
Summary
Councilors described resident complaints about speeding near Anderson Park and approved signage and speed-bump upgrades; the council also discussed dock anchor plans and a Rock Creek restoration that will chip siltstone to create stepped pools for juvenile salmon.
A councilor raised recurring complaints about speeding in and around Anderson Park and asked for more patrols and signage; staff said they had deployed a radar speed reader, ordered three new slow-5-mph signs, and beefed up speed bumps.
Council members also discussed dock anchor plans to expand fishing access and a planned Rock Creek restoration. Staff described the contractor's plan to chip siltstone and form stepped pools roughly six inches above pool height to help juvenile salmon passage. "They wanna be 6 inches above the pool height because that's what a juvenile sumatid jump height is," a councilor said while describing the restoration profile.
