South Park Pump Station

Review Status

On August 1, 2019 we reviewed the design development phase for the South Park Pump Station. At this meeting we approved the design development phase with several recommendations.  This was our last review of the project.

Project Description

As a part of its overall drainage program, Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is proposing to build a pump station within the South Park Neighborhood.  The project is located along S Riverside Dr. adjacent to the 7th Ave Street end and Duwamish River.  The proposed facility will include a series of wet wells and pumps to help prevent flooding in the neighborhood during storm events.  The project proposal will also include accessible open space with pedestrian pathways, landscape forms, vegetation, seating, lighting, and views to the water as well as improvements to the adjacent ROW along S Riverside Dr and the northern portion of the 7th Ave S street end.
