I am a resident of Kirkland and I do not support bus rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC).

There are many safety concerns with buses on the CKC:

It is near many parks and schools

It’s used by many school kids

It connects neighborhoods and has a lot of pedestrian cross traffic

I will oppose ST3 if it includes transit on the CKC.

In addition, I would be interested in an economic cost benefit analysis comparing the use of 405 vs. the CKC as well as the results of the an environmental impact study comparing rapid transit on the CKC vs. utilizing 405.
