Fish Art and Other Kennewick Stimulus Projects
KENNEWICK -- Jumping fish are now on display at Volland and Canal. It's not an aquarium. It's pieces of art in this median.

This is the final touch to the first phase of "The Columbia Park Overlook Project."
Stimulus money paved the way. Phase "two" calls for new sidewalks, and better bike access from Fisher to Volland on Canal Street.

Meanwhile, another stimulus project in Kennewick will have to wait. Improvements at the Kennewick Senior Center were supposed to begin in August, but are now scheduled to get underway in mid- September.

The project would make bathrooms more accessible to the disabled and more "senior- friendly."

The job represents fifteen percent of the city of Kennewick's overall federal stimulus budget.
