Capital Projects

If you’re new here, welcome! Here’s a quick look at three major capital projects that will shape Duvall’s future. Links to my original posts about each one are also included:

✨ 3rd Avenue Reconstruction Project

A full rebuild of one of our key corridors—complete with new sidewalks, safer crossings, drainage, lighting, and upgraded utilities. This isn’t just about fixing pavement; it’s about making downtown safer, more accessible, and more inviting for residents, visitors, and businesses. https://amymchenryforduvall.com/2025/05/28/capital-projects-part-1/

✨ Big Rock Ballfields Expansion Project

More space for youth and families to play, plus opportunities to host tournaments that support our local economy. And it’s not just about sports—we’re planning activities to meet a wide range of community interests. (And yes, the parking lot will be fixed to make peak times much smoother!) https://amymchenryforduvall.com/2025/06/11/capital-projects-part-2/

✨ Future Civic Campus

A modern, centralized hub for city services—including our police department, public meetings, and community events. This new campus will increase efficiency, improve accessibility, and provide a true “front door” for our community. https://amymchenryforduvall.com/2025/07/06/capital-projects-part-3/

Together, these projects will make Duvall safer, healthier, and more connected. But they won’t happen on their own—they require experienced leadership, strong advocacy, and the ability to deliver results.

Let’s build Duvall’s next chapter—strong, connected, and future-ready.

Capital Projects Part 2

My approach is simple—listen, focus on what matters, and make real progress.

Top of the list? Finishing the capital projects that matter most to Duvall families — and the Big Rock Ballfields expansion is a perfect example. Duvall has grown, and so has the demand for places where kids can play soccer, baseball, or just run around and be kids. But it’s not just for the little ones — this expansion also creates more space and options for older youth, adult leagues, community events, walking trails, and recreational opportunities for seniors. Our parks and fields should serve everyone in Duvall, and this project helps us do just that.

This project has been in the works, and I’m committed to seeing it through — because projects like this make Duvall a better place to live, play, and grow. This is the kind of community infrastructure that makes a lasting difference in people’s everyday lives. It’s not just about ballfields — it’s about building spaces where neighbors gather, friendships are formed, and lifelong memories are made.

Let’s finish what we started — together.

Capital Projects Part 1

When people ask me what’s on my agenda as the next Mayor, my top priority is clear: finish the big capital projects that matter to our community. One of those is the 3rd Avenue NE Reconstruction Project—a critical step toward a safer, more accessible Duvall.

Identified as the City’s TIP Project R-13, this project will transform 3rd Avenue NE from NE 143rd Pl to Stephens St with:

-Streetscape improvements and roadway widening

-Continuous pedestrian & bike facilities

-Intersection upgrades and traffic calming

-Stormwater system improvements

-New street lighting

One major milestone is already complete: the replacement of the Coe-Clemons Creek culvert, which now improves fish passage and reduces flooding risks.

Here’s where we are now:

– 90% Design Plans completed – February 2025

-100% Design Plans expected – Fall 2025

– Construction Timeline – To Be Determined

As one of the Councilmembers who served on the Public Works Committee, I was proud to participate in the selection of the contractor and help move this important project forward.

This is more than just infrastructure—it’s a long-term investment in our community’s safety, sustainability, and mobility.
