Sound Transit 3 leaves North Lake Washington behind – your input needed by July 8, 2015

Access-challenged Lake Forest Park has sounded the alarm and wants residents to tell their opinions to Sound Transit.

In November 2016, Sound Transit is planning on asking voters whether they want to fund more mass transit projects in the Puget Sound region. This initiative is known as “Sound Transit 3” (ST3). The City is fully engaged in the ST3 process at the agency level and has carefully reviewed the proposed ST3 plan.

Sound Transit is accepting public input on the ST3 plan for one more day, so please get your comments in by 5:00pm on July 8, 2015. 

Currently, Sound Transit has no plans to construct any transportation improvements along State Route 522 (Bothell Way) or anywhere else within our City. Lake Forest Park is concerned that, without a substantial investment in access facilities, especially a well-located park / ride structure, transit will be no more accessible in our access-challenged community than it is today, leaving regular use of transit out of the question for many of our residents.

Lake Forest Park residents and businesses are urged to voice their opinions with Sound Transit by clicking on this link for more information and ways you can participate in providing feedback regarding the needs of North Lake Washington cities and Lake Forest Park in particular.
