Seattle Parks and Recreation plans to build a retaining wall at West Queen Anne Ballfield #3 to help level the field. The wall will be built following the sidewalk on W. Blaine St. to the existing stairwell on the east side of the field, along the existing asphalt path. The proposed wall will be approximately 3 feet at the tallest point tapering to 18 inches. Parks is working with the West Queen Anne Little League Association and Foushee Construction, and it’s hosting a public meeting to present the design and construction schedule to neighbors on Wednesday, August 5, 2009 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at the ballfield, located at 226 W. Blaine St.
