This program provides City grant money for projects identified and prioritized by residents that address pedestrian and bicycle safety issues that are often too small to be funded in the regular CIP budget. These projects could be crosswalk safety, pedestrian or bike connections to the CKC, bike lanes or trails, intersection improvements, traffic calming, walkway improvements, etc.
Step 1: Suggest a Project - do this step NOW Enter your project idea in the “Suggest a Project” interactive map at any time during the year. (Click the “I want to…” orange button and then select “Submit a Project Idea” in the drop-down dialog box. The interactive map will step you through pinpointing your project location, selecting a project type and describing your idea.) The City reviews and responds to all suggestions and will let you know if your project meets the NSP parameters. All suggestions will be shared with your Neighborhood Association and posted on the City’s web site. The next step will be for you to advocate for your project at your upcoming Neighborhood Association Meeting (dates vary). Each neighborhood can select two projects with a projected total maximum cost of $50,000.00 per neighborhood, but they first must be entered on the "Suggest a Project" site to qualify. Get those ideas posted! You can also send project ideas to centralhoughton@gmail.com. The Central Houghton Neighborhood Association will be discussing suggested projects at our monthly meetings (7:00 PM on the second Tuesday of each month at Fire Station 22). Here are the agenda presentation for the October 2016 Meeting of the Central Houghton Neighborhood Association and the 3 Square Blocks presentation for the Houghton Everest Neighborhood Center (HENC) and the 6th Street corridor study. Links to download the files can be found below the views. Enjoy

Thanks to all for attending tonight. Below are the topics covered during the meeting
 Northwest University Master Plan update
The plan has been submitted to the city. As soon as the plans are posted, we will send an updated link to access the content of the plan. Neighbors at the meeting have concerns with the plan, especially around field usage, traffic, noise and lighting. Follow up to the question of taxes and student usage need to be answered. At a high level, the process will be for the City to review before it is reviewed by the HCC. If you have concerns regarding the plan, we recommend you write to the City Council and HCC as well as speak at the council meetings. To find drawings, Master Plan summaries, and comment reports of the Open Houses held by Northwest University to get public feedback please see https://www.northwestu.edu/master-plan/ Houghton Everest Neighborhood Center/6th Street Corridor You should have received an email from the City asking for your to fill out an online survey.

The City’s Neighborhood Safety Program (NSP) is accepting ideas for projects that will improve the safety and livability in neighborhoods throughout the City. Kirkland residents are encouraged to submit their ideas through the Capital Improvement Projects “Suggest-a-Project” database. Projects submitted through September, will be considered for the 2017 funding cycle. The NSP funds projects under $50,000, but all ideas are welcomed. The City reviews and responds to all suggestions and will notify those submitting projects if they meet the NSP parameters. All suggestions will be shared with the respective Neighborhood Association and posted on the City’s web site. The 2017 cycle is starting earlier this year by one month, so as to be in better alignment with the bid process and to get better prices and start earlier in the season on the construction phase of the projects. Community Art Project The community art project will be unveiled on October 8, 2016 and live on the Corridor at the intersection of 110th Ave NE Ave in the Highlands Neighborhood until mid-November. Find out more at www.kirklandwa.gov/arts or follow the Cross Kirkland Corridor Facebook page for updates. Community workshop dates below: Help sort, clean, assemble or embroider leaves for the project. If you write poetry, please bring your own to stitch or write out for others to work on.
The City of Kirkland’s recycling team, Kirkland Conserves, is joining forces with Waste Management and Sight Connection to kick-off a month long textile recycling drive in September. Residents can schedule curbside pickup of textiles for reuse and recycling with Sight Connection on September 6, 12, 21 or 30 by signing up on the organization’s website. Other Updates No Month of Concern for the Hungry food drive this year. Both KAN and City staff volunteer commitments fell through this year. We urge you to make fresh harvest donations or any donations at any time to Hopelink. Or start your own food drive. Maybe CHNA can help. Don’t throughout books or DVDs. Please drop off at the library. The Friends of the Library will be happy to take them. If you have not already, please join the CHNA Facebook page so you can get automatic updates.
