At its meeting on October 26, 2023, the Lake Forest Park City Council took action to approve two letters from the City Council to Sound Transit. 

The letters have been transmitted to Sound Transit and are now available on the City’s Sound Transit BRT webpage.

• The first letter is to Sound Transit CEO Julie Timm, requesting support for lower speed limits on SR 522/Bothell Way.

• The second letter is to the Sound Transit Board, urging Sound Transit to reconsider the BAT proposal and work with the city to develop a LFP transit solution based on queue jumps and signalized lights.
