The Best is Yet to Come

The city has an extraordinary opportunity to take a rare 50 contiguous acres in the Wood Trails parcel and build a trail system for all to enjoy. Construction and maintenance of the system will be volunteer-powered in partnership with trail experts. 

The trail will eventually connect to the regional trails on the Eastrail corridor (which is replacing the current train tracks). 

Widening the train trestle and redirecting traffic off 175th street will improve travel times and make it easier to connect one side of the city to the other.

We must work with the State to secure funding for SR202 (the road under the trestle). I will continue advocating that the state fix their road so we can increase traffic flow and decrease travel times.

Improving pedestrian facilities will make it easier for people to leave cars behind and enjoy our walkable downtown.

As the city council's representative on King County's Siting Advisory Group (SAG) I am committed to finding alternate sites that are more suitable than Woodinville for the proposed county solid waste transfer station. 

The increased traffic, economic impact to businesses and proximity to the agricultural valley makes Woodinville an unsuitable option. 

Woodinville is a desirable place to live and work. Land is scarce and I only support developments with the best combination of benefits for the community and responsible growth while adhering to our vision of a vibrant, walkable pedestrian core. 

Each neighborhood in our community has a unique character and they should all be preserved.
