My wife and I moved to Kirkland a year ago and the clincher for making the move was the beauty and availability of the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC). As a runner, dog-walker and bike rider I love the trail. We should preserve the beauty of the trail and continue to enhance that beauty over the years. We should not pollute the trail with the noise and distractions that come with rail and/or buses. Let’s not disturb its natural beauty nor put the safety and lives of our children at risk. Children are now using the trail regularly to commute to and from school. The CKC is a treasure that should be cultivated and enhanced, not diminished to accommodate traffic – rapid transit belongs on the existing highways built for that purpose.
