Taskforce presents Slater improvements

A Kirkland neighborhood taskforce is ready to present proposed safety improvements to Slater Avenue to residents who live along the corridor between N.E. 97th Street and N.E. 112th Place.

An Open House is scheduled for April 22, 7 to 9 p.m. at the Kirkland Fire Station at 9930 124th Avenue N.E. Attendees will learn about proposed median islands on Slater Avenue at N.E. 100th Street and N.E. 112th Place, a traffic circle at N.E. 105th Street, a raised crosswalk at N.E. 112th Place and curb bulbs at three locations to improve the visibility between pedestrians and motorists.

Resident comments will be accepted on the proposed strategies and modifications may be made by the taskforce. More than 500 area residents who received notice of the Open House will receive a mail-in ballot on the final strategies to return to the city in June.
