UW Department: Community, Environment, and Planning
Quarter: Fall 2024
The City of Mukilteo relies on a Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Arts (PROSA) Plan as one of its major policies directing the development of parks and recreation programs. Following our comprehensive plan update, the city needs to update its 2017 PROSA plan to better align with the city’s policy direction and meet certain grant eligibility requirements. The CEP student team will work with Mukilteo City staff to conduct public outreach to update the City’s demand and need analysis, including more equity analysis in their review of capital spending.

Quarter: Fall 2024
The Mukilteo GIS department is currently developing an online historic walking map. They are interested in expanding this project to include city recreational opportunities, points of interest, and other features to encourage tourism and economic development in the city. The CEP student team will partner with the City to further develop this tool and advise how it can be improved to best represent the City and drive interest from users. They will additionally perform community outreach to better understand the needs of the community and how the tool can best serve Mukilteo’s residents.
Muk-3: Sign Inventory and Mapping
City Project Leads: Andy Galuska, Matt Nienhuis
Faculty: Jess Zimbabwe and Jess Blanch
UW Department: Community, Environment, and Planning
Quarter: Fall 2024
The Mukilteo Public Works Department is currently modernizing its asset tracking system. One major component is mapping all of the city-maintained road signs throughout the city and determining the condition as well as the need for replacement. City staff will train the CEP student team in the subject matter, and students will survey the city and report the location and condition of signs through ESRI GIS-based tools. The students will provide a GIS map of city-maintained road signs, focusing on a target area identified by the City, and a condition assessment of all inspected signs with recommendations for replacements.
