Juneau’s Seawalk from the Mayor Bill Overstreet Park to Gold Creek received an Excellence on the Waterfront Honor Award from the Waterfront Center, a nonprofit that promotes waterfront development.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

The award will be given at an online ceremony Oct. 25, according to a news release from J.A. Brennan Associates, the Seattle landscape architecture firm that worked on Juneau’s Seawalk.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

“The Downtown Seawalk provides urban residents and office workers with attractive outdoor recreation, including steps to tidelands and the beach. It also relieves downtown street congestion and creates a higher quality water experience for visitors and residents,” the release said.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
