Pursue a better alternative on the Cross Kirkland Corridor | Letter

In my wildest imagination I cannot fathom why the city of Kirkland would support constructing two lanes for bus traffic, destroying some areas along the trail that are ecologically sensitive wetlands, and trying to integrate bus traffic safely alongside of a walking and bike path enjoyed by all ages that has become a signature green space connecting numerous parks and neighborhoods.

In my wildest imagination I cannot fathom why the city of Kirkland would support constructing two lanes for bus traffic, destroying some areas along the trail that are ecologically sensitive wetlands, and trying to integrate bus traffic safely alongside of a walking and bike path enjoyed by all ages that has become a signature green space connecting numerous parks and neighborhoods. I would request that this idea be rejected in its entirety, pursue existing alternative and better options rather than this costly plan to destroy the trail forever.
