Duvall to survey residents on Duval Park amenities, seeks pipeline/SVT connectivity
Summary
Staff presented a draft community survey for Duval Park — a King County parcel — asking residents about low‑impact amenities, ADA access, trail connections (including the pipeline and Snoqualmie Valley Trail), and distribution via city channels; commissioners recommended separate questions on connectivity and features.
Staff asked the commission for feedback on a draft public survey that will inform potential improvements at Duval Park, a King County‑owned open space inside the Urban Growth Area. The survey asks residents to rank preferences (nature trails, boardwalks, pollinator gardens, small picnic areas, restroom preference) and to indicate interest in trail connectivity to the pipeline trail and Snoqualmie Valley Trail.
"Would you be interested in investments that offered the following? Nature trails, elevated boardwalk viewing platforms, educational features, signage…" a staff member read when describing draft options. Commissioners urged separating connectivity questions from feature questions so the city can identify both what people want at Duval Park and how they prioritize connections to regional corridors.
Staff outlined distribution plans — city website, Duval Connect app, QR codes and utility billing inserts — and proposed adding the survey to farmer's-market outreach or a site storyboard at future milestones. Commissioners also suggested asking whether respondents prefer the site remain a low‑impact nature preserve or be enhanced with more facilities, and recommended ensuring ADA and intergenerational options are explicit in the survey.
The city will use survey results to shape a 60% design package to present to council and to inform future grant requests to King County and other funders.
