Leave BRT on 405, where it belongs | Letter

Published 10:59 am Wednesday, November 25, 2015

I am writing as a Kirkland resident for the past 10 years, and urge the Council to pursue option E-02 and leave bus/rapid transit on 405 where it belongs.

We live within a block of the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) and feel it is an immeasurable asset to the community, property values and residents. Having recently completed most of the trail, I cannot comprehend spending more dollars to add rails and disrupting what is currently a safe pedestrian/bicycle trail.

The 405 option would take advantage of existing park and ride centers and alleviate traffic and parking congestion near the trail. Please pursue the option E-02 or put to a public vote prior to taking action.

Thank you.
