After months of work, construction of the Kingfisher Natural Area on Thornton Creek (NE 100th Street and 20th Avenue NE) has been completed and the fences removed. Thornton Creek is now wider and more shallow in order to slow it down during periods of heavy rain such as we have experienced this week (see below):
Water level on a typical dry day (Oct. 24, 2014)
Water level during heavy rain (October 21, 2014)
Three different stages of progress at Kingfisher: May 29, 2014, June 26, 2014, and October 24, 2014.
The walkway is now open at all times to allow access between Victory Heights at Maple Leaf at 98th Avenue NE.
I was there just a couple of days ago. It looks wonderful, and I hope this experiment is a huge success!
We agree – it is beautiful.
Neighbors, please be mindful of your dogs. Obey leash laws and scoop laws. We do not want this beautiful space ruined by the neighborhood dogs.
Wow! It looks fantastic.
