Forget repaving roads, save Juanita High pool

What is the city of Kirkland gaining by repaving the northern portion of Market Street and now 116th Street between Market and Interstate 405? These roads were in descent condition to begin with prior to construction. The allocated funds could have gone toward more useful purposes that residents are passionate about, such as saving the Juanita High School pool for public use, field improvements for soccer, baseball, and softball, or you name it.
