Highlights of the meeting will include welcome and updates by Mayor Joan McBride and City Manager Kurt Triplett. Lisa Picard, executive vice president and regional manager SKANSKA, USA will describe her experience developing a building adjacent to the Burke-Gilman Trail and the benefits that a corridor can offer businesses and investors.

The Berger Partnership, consultants on the Cross Kirkland Corridor, will present some early concepts for the corridor. Following these presentations, stations staffed by Berger, city of Kirkland staff, and the Urban Land Use Leadership in Sustainability Team will capture input from businesses on the corridor plan, plan for Totem Lake, Comprehensive and Transportation Plan updates and other planning efforts underway.

The meeting is hosted by the Eastside Tennis Center, an indoor public tennis center owned and operated by the nonprofit TOPS. The venue was chosen because it backs on the Cross Kirkland Corridor and will someday be the safe way for children to access tennis lessons and other activities after school.
