Kirkland wants to hear ideas from residents

  • 2019-08-24
Kirkland has money available for local improvements, and would like to hear from residents about what they want to see fixed.

Every year, a total of $350,000 is available for projects throughout the city through the Neighborhood Safety Program (NSP). The money is earmarked for projects that don't cost more than $50,000.

The city would like to hear ideas that would make it safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, or autos to travel through their neighborhood. In addition, if someone has an idea for making improvements that would increase the safety of children as they ride the school bus, bike, or walk to school, the city wants to hear those as well.

The NSP gives residents a chance to empower their neighborhood associations to work in collaboration with city staffers to name, prioritize, and work on safety improvements they'd like to see made in Kirkland. As projects are completed in cases like this, there may be a chance to use Logo Design to “label” each one.

The $350,000 available can be channeled into projects within various specific categories. These include developing trails or bike lanes for bicyclists; working on crosswalks; improving intersections in various ways; working on so-called “traffic calming” devices like radar Signs, signage, “bump outs” for pedestrians, speed cushions, and traffic islands; working on street lights; or making improvements to trails, sidewalks and walkways.

Residents are invited to email Kari Page at Kpage@kirklandwa.gov with their ideas, or submit them online.
