- January 11, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. This event will be located at North Bend City Hall: 920 SE Cedar Falls Way.
Taylor Park is a focal setting in Downtown North Bend, having served as a grassy place to picnic, a center for community gatherings, and it a home to the North Bend Train Depot. The design project includes:
- A plan for better connection to Downtown North Bend.
- Providing a downtown community gathering space.
- Making more efficient use of the parking along McClellan Street.
- Considering possible improvement and location for the railroad tracks and depot within the park.
Riverfront Park is a four-acre, protected river riparian corridor with a multi-use trail on the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River. Intents for the design project include:
- A plan for better connection to Downtown North Bend.
- Provide trails and riverfront amenities, while maintaining the predominantly forested character and floodplain storage capacity of the park.
