Shoreline City Council Recap for June 2010

Provided by Eric Bratton, City Manager's Office

Much of June was spent reviewing transportation within Shoreline and its relation to the wider region. Transportation issues are always ranked high as important issues for Shoreline residents. That is why providing safe, efficient and effective infrastructure to support transportation has been one of the Council’s goals for the past several years. The Aurora Corridor project is on schedule and can be considered the backbone of the City’s transportation infrastructure.
