As owners in Highland Pointe, we do not support bus rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. There are numerous considerations for our position including the habitat (it is used by deer, rabbits and coyotes) as well as the wetland aspects that should be left intact.  It is incumbent upon the makers of policy for the city of Kirkland to maintain the integrity of the trail as it exists, not destroy it.

Additionally, there are many safety concerns with buses on the Cross Kirkland Trail:

It is near many parks and schools

It’s used by many school children and professional going to work

It connects neighborhoods and has a lot of pedestrian cross traffic

We will oppose ST3 if it includes transit on the Cross Kirkland Trail.
