Big Changes Coming to Our Public Transit In this two part video series our co-chair Brad talks about big changes coming to our neighborhood's public transit on March 21st.
The first video focuses on what's changing with the 255 and what you need to know to take public transit to downtown after 3/21.
In the second video we learn what's changing with the bus routes from downtown Kirkland to Juanita, Totem Lake, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Redmond and Bellevue. The end of the video also covers two future projects coming in 2024: RapidRide K Line and Swift BRT.
You can find more info on the King County Metro website.

Welcome
We opened the meeting by acknowledging Veteran’s Day. We are trying something new: we are streaming the meetings live on Facebook. You can watch real-time or view the recording later. Visit the Moss Bay Facebook page for viewing. Parks Update
Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plan Kari Page discussed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan. Kirkland has gone through the entire city and assessed if items such as sidewalks, access to transportation, and restrooms meet the ADA requirements. The transition plan identifies areas that need to be updated as well as the time frame for completing them. Neighborhood Safety Program Brad discussed the Neighborhood Safety Program. Moss Bay has three projects under consideration that meet the criteria for the program. In addition to voting in the meeting, surveys were sent to the Moss Bay mailing list. All three projects are proposals to replace crosswalk flags at the following locations with rapid flashing beacons, which are proven to be safer:
