Signs will notify drivers along Mukilteo Boulevard that the Seahurst park entrance is open, and there will be signage at Mukilteo Boulevard and Olympic Drive indicating that the east park entrance along Olympic is closed.
The City closed both access roads to Howarth Park last week in response to recent landslides.
City staff expect to reopen the eastern entrance to the park, restoring full access, by the end of next week, once the slide debris has been completely removed. The slide-debris removal work involves removing some trees in the area and coordination between parks and public works crews.
The City coordinated with a geotechnical engineering consultant and the parks department urban forester to develop a tree removal plan, which will be implemented as soon as Thursday. Once necessary trees are removed, public works crews will begin removing the slide debris from the Olympic Blvd access road.
