On December 4, 2017 the Lake Forest Park Safe Highways consultant team held the third outreach event for this project, this one at Brookside Elementary.

The Safe Highway project is looking at the two state highways within city limits— Bothell Way NE (SR 522) and Ballinger Way NE (SR 104)— and exploring ways to make them safer, more accommodating to transit, and more walkable and bikeable.

Workshop 3, attended by approximately 100 citizens, included an overview of the process to date and presented several preferred recommendations, which public input had helped to shape.

In a couple of instances, new ideas were floated for both the 178th/Ballinger intersection and the 145th/Bothell Way intersection.

The next step in the process will be to present the final preferred options to Council at the Work Session of December 14, and taking feedback.

The council meetings are held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, in Town Center 17425 Ballinger Way NE, Lake Forest Park 98155. Meetings are streamed live, then archived and both can be viewed online.
