Other types of improvements would have to be funded by you and your neighbors. The Public Works staff can explain the process for each type of improvement. In order to find the exact location of your property line, please contact a licensed surveyor. The Kirkland Zoning Code and Subdivision Ordinance list the public improvements and on-site storm drainage requirements that need to be installed in order for subdivision of property to occur. Kirkland encourages bicycling and offers a network of bike routes throughout the city for your health, enjoyment and to better environment.
All streets have a limited life span due to the daily wear and tear by traffic.
We have prioritized all of the streets in the City as to when they qualify for a new asphalt overlay. See our 1999 Overlay Schedule . Stormwater is conveyed directly to creeks, streams, Lake Washington and Puget Sound, without treatment. Sanitary sewer is collected and is treated at the King County Wastewater Facility in Renton and then discharged to the Green River. Many water quality response calls occur from people discharging materials into the storm drain.
