POULSBO — A grand opening ceremony for the Anderson Parkway facelift is scheduled today, noon at Haven Vei (the pedestrian cooridor by businesses That’s A Some Italian and Liberty Bay Books).

Mayor Becky Erickson, Historic Downtown Poulsbo Association President Sandy Kolbeins, representatives of Seton Construction and key staff members from the City of Poulsbo will be present at the ceremony to celebrate the success of the project and the strength of the collaboration between the downtown merchants and the City.

This ceremony will be followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony in front of the Marine Science Center to celebrate the installation of the new octopus statue.

Continued striping work, some minor repaving, light pole installation, and landscaping will occur throughout the month of March but none will require any long-term closure or total closure of Anderson Parkway, according to Kelle Kitchel-Cooper of the RockFish Group.

As work occurs, a few stalls may need to be closed intermittently.
