Lake Stevens is set to embark on a transformative infrastructure project to revitalize Main Street near North Cove Park, enhancing the area with new curbs, gutters, planters, a multi-use path, and upgraded sidewalks. This initiative is part of a broader effort to create an inviting and sustainable downtown environment, which aligns with the city's strategic goals. Community members are encouraged to sign up for updates via the Main Street Improvements page, ensuring they remain informed about project timelines and any necessary closures. The project is scheduled to run through 2025, alongside the Lake Stevens Sewer District's Sewer Project, which is expected to have minimal impact on the downtown area. Public access to North Cove Park will be maintained throughout construction, although there may be temporary changes to access points, particularly for large events like the 4th of July.

Construction activities may lead to increased traffic congestion, limited parking, and noise, which could affect park rentals and use. The City is committed to keeping the community updated on any changes to traffic patterns and project progress. This initiative represents a significant investment in the local infrastructure and aims to enhance the overall experience for residents and visitors alike.
