Focus: Mapes Creek Project and Changes in Beer Sheva Park
• Why are we doing this project?
• How is the park used now? What are the major park amenities?
• How are we proposing to change the park?
• How will that affect park amenities and the experience for park users?

Chinook Salmon listed under Endangered Species Act in 1999
![Page 9: Lower Mapes Creek Restoration and 52nd Ave CSO ......2012-June 2013 Public Meetings July 2012-July 2013 Construction August 2013 - November 2014 Plant Establishment and Monitoring](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052009/601ed6359edb860f905a2a52/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Chinook salmon habitat research
Scientist Roger Tabor conducts a snorkeling survey along the Lake Washington shoreline
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service studies how small Chinook use vegetation as protection
from predators
![Page 10: Lower Mapes Creek Restoration and 52nd Ave CSO ......2012-June 2013 Public Meetings July 2012-July 2013 Construction August 2013 - November 2014 Plant Establishment and Monitoring](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052009/601ed6359edb860f905a2a52/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Preferred rearing habitat includes: • Shoreline areas with shallow depths (>1 m) and gentle slopes
• Fine substrates
• Overhanging vegetation/small woody debris
• Small creeks: mouths and shallow, low gradient, upstream portions
Juvenile Chinook salmon need rearing habitat and “rest stops” for the 3-5 months they
inhabit Lake Washington
![Page 11: Lower Mapes Creek Restoration and 52nd Ave CSO ......2012-June 2013 Public Meetings July 2012-July 2013 Construction August 2013 - November 2014 Plant Establishment and Monitoring](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052009/601ed6359edb860f905a2a52/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Vanished Small Creeks in South Lake Washington
![Page 12: Lower Mapes Creek Restoration and 52nd Ave CSO ......2012-June 2013 Public Meetings July 2012-July 2013 Construction August 2013 - November 2014 Plant Establishment and Monitoring](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052009/601ed6359edb860f905a2a52/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“Rest Stops”
Cedar River Chinook enter Lake Washington
from March to May.
Chinook encounter limited areas with habitat. Most of shoreline has docks and bulkheads.
Taylor Creek planned habitat site.
Mapes Creek planned habitat site. Chinook Beach
completed habitat site.
Martha Washington Park completed
habitat site.
Pritchard Beach completed habitat site.
Seward Park completed habitat
sites.
The City of Seattle is building a
network of rest stops for juvenile
Chinook salmon to use during
their trip to Puget Sound.

• Headwaters are mostly forested
• Little pavement , buildings, roads
• Stable creek flows
• Relatively good water quality
