RE: Laurelhurst Position Statement on SR 520

Dear Mayor Nickels, Council President Licata and Members of the City Council,

Attached is our Position Statement regarding the SR520 replacement project. This document was the result of many hours of discussion by our board and countless hours of public involvement by the two of us. It reflects our collective concerns regarding the project and it’s impacts on NE Seattle.

We thank you for the careful attention you are giving to this matter and hope that you will find our concerns and proposals to have merit. Please feel free to contact either of us for further information & clarification.

Sincerely,
