Creation of the Fred and Ted Steps in Shorewood Park
Fred Henzi designed these steps and provided detailed plans for their construction. This is only part of his donation to our community. Work began on June 12th after the City Parks staff delivered building supplies to Jon Newton's home. Jon’s yard became the step-building workshop. In the days proceeding the community work party, he and Fred cut all of the pieces to the correct size, following Fred's plan. The two contributed 40 hours of work to cut the boards, number the steps and have everything ready to go on Saturday morning. Jon was up at 7AM getting the final details ready. Ted Daley, Jean and Tom Spohn arrived at 9:30. Tom prefabricated the u-shaped steps while Jon, Fred and Ted laid out the step pathway and started digging out the hillside to create level homes for the steps. Tim Riley arrived and Barry Rodda brought a torque drill for making rebar holes that would hold the steps in place. Tim and Jon carted the heavy steps down the hill. With measuring tapes and levels in hand, Fred and Ted monitored every step to assure the precision of the step placement. It was Jon, Ted, Fred, Tim and Teri Newton that shared the joy of placing the final stake in the steps at 5pm. Note that the steps curve gently giving a graceful appearance, further enhanced by a few rocks, carefully placed by Teri. It is not just a functional installation, but an artistic and graceful one as well.

Shorewood Drive Reconstruction Project (Shorewood Drive is now open to through traffic)
Pater Lau, Project Manager, City of Burien
As of June 7, 2007 the plans and specifications for the approved engineering project (soldier pile like the Maplewilde project) went out to 5 contractors for bid; response expected within 2 weeks.
Funds are available as City has declared this a 'state of emergency' project.
It is 'anticipated' the bid winner would need about 2 months to purchase and place the materials (believed available) for work to start in August/September.
Completion is expected 30 days after work starts, thus October if all goes as planned.
City to update their website with this general information fairly soon so all can be informed.
Please pass this to any and all you are aware of that would like this information."
