As part of a multi-phased project, KPG provided transportation analysis, design, and construction management services to improve the segment of SE 40th Street between Island Crest Way and Gallagher Hill Road. Design included adding sidewalks, pedestrian safety enhancements, traffic signal modifications, ADA curb ramps, bicycle facilities, and illumination.

Happy Veterans Day! We are happy to have many veterans working at KPG and would like to show our gratitude by doing a special #throwbackthursday to KPG’s very own Melvin Carden, who just last year served across seas.

KPG performed analysis and final design for a mini-roundabout at the intersection of SE 40th St & 138th Ave SE.

Happy National Mentoring Day! Today we would like to recognize the meaningful connections at KPG through our mentors’ and mentees’ relationships. National Mentoring Day was created with the intention to share the value of mentoring, while encouraging more to get involved. While 97% of those with a mentor say they’re valuable, 85% of people do not have one. Learn more about the impact of mentoring at www.nationalmentoringday.com, and tag your mentor below!

Our Landscape Architecture and Urban Design teams are taking over KPG’s social media platforms this week!
The Landscape Architecture team works closely with the engineers at KPG to create designs that are functional and beautiful. From parks, to trails, to roadway projects, they envision outdoor spaces that support human and non-human creatures alike.

Happy Native American and Indigenous Peoples' Day! To celebrate, we would like to highlight the @cowlitztribe. The Cowlitz Indian Tribe has about 1,400 members and is located on 152-acres in Clark County, Washington. One of KPG’s survey team members, Ron, is an active member and has fond memories of his family helping serve on the council, including a time when his aunts traveled to Washington DC to celebrate the tribe being federally recognized in 2000.
The Cowlitz Indian Tribe has created a fun language app, so if you are interested in learning the names of birds, animals, plants, and more, try downloading the Cowlitz Salish Vocab Builder on your smart phone!

World Habitat Day was originated by The United Nations to recognize and reflect the basic need for shelter for all. Observed each year on the first Monday of October, World Habitat Day is intended to remind us that we shape the future of our cities and towns. This year’s theme is accelerating urban action for a carbon-free world by calling local governments to action.
Learn more about what towns and cities are doing this year for World Habitat Day at https://urbanoctober.unhabitat.org/whd, and if you are ready to get involved, connect with local chapters at https://www.habitat.org/local/affiliate?zip=98116

KPG provided landscape architecture, urban design, and illumination to a section of the Mountains to Sound Greenway, a trail that stretches over 100 miles from Seattle to Ellensburg. This new 1.2-mile section is located between Factoria Boulevard and 148th Ave SE in Bellevue’s Eastgate neighborhood, and it provides a critical connection within the regional multimodal trail network for pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users. Our LA/Urban Designers will share more about this project when they take over our social media accounts in mid-October!
