![]() City seeks input from residents and businesses to help shape Sound Transit 3 service in Kirkland On Thursday, November 19, 2015, the City is hosting an Open House and Community Update at the Kirkland Performance Center (350 Kirkland Avenue) from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. Staff will be available to answer questions about high capacity transit from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. A formal presentation by City officials on high capacity transit in Kirkland will begin at 7:30 p.m., followed by a question and answer session. Putting Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) on the Cross Kirkland Corridor will have a big impact on many here in Central Houghton - including the Google Campus, Houghton Everest Neighborhood Center (HENC), traffic on 108th, Lakeview Elementary school routes, home owners adjacent to the corridor, etc. . I'm not sure many people know about it. Please take a second to look at the materials on the city's website (see the link below) and tell your neighbors about it. It will give you a good idea of the City's work with Sound Transit and where we stand in the ST3 process. More information can be found on the city's website here. Kirkland’s Sixth Street sidewalk contractor will start preparing the street—from Kirkland Avenue to Google’s campus—for construction on Monday. Kamins Construction will spend its first week on the job surveying the site and preparing it for construction by installing various forms of erosion-control along it and by removing existing asphalt and concrete.
Project engineers expect Kamins Construction to finish construction by the middle of December 2015. At that point, residents will have a continuous sidewalk on which to walk from downtown Kirkland Avenue to the South Kirkland Park and Ride. Later on in 2016, the City of Kirkland will build traffic signals at Sixth Street’s intersections with Ninth Avenue South and at Kirkland Way. The project at Kirkland Way will reconfigure the intersection and replace its pavement surface with a concrete surface, which can better withstand the weight of transit.

Concerns came up about trash on the CKC. City Maintenance crew comes thru once a day. Garbage cans are put by the streets so they can get service. Many sections of the trail have already been adopted. Big thanks to individual citizens who also pick up other’s trash. If you have a dog, please make sure to pick up their waste. Key topic of the discussion was on planning for Houghton Everest Neighborhood Center. The key issue the Central Houghton Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan, the Everest Comprehensive Plan and the zoning are not aligned.
