One neighbor emailed:
What's up with the shoreline fence at waterway one? A temporary fence was put up a few weeks ago.
There is no signage indicating its purpose, and it's starting to fall down and look junky.
The Laurelhurst Community Club (LCC) said about the fence:
It is our understanding that it is just temporary to prevent the newly installed silt from falling into the lake.
The temporary fence is a requirement for undertaking work on the shoreline.
Waterway #1 was used long ago as a boat launch for one of Seattle’s mosquito fleet ferries, the Laurelhurst Launch, which shuttled folks from Laurelhurst to Madison Park and back.
"Now it is a rare and treasured public access point to the waterfront where people can go to observe nature, walk dogs, launch non-motorized boats and play basketball," LCC said.
The property is owned by the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and regulated by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT).
