I am very concerned by the way that our city continues to disregard the overwhelming outpouring from the citizens in Sammamish against expensive projects that are ill-conceived. In the case of East Lake Sammamish Parkway (ELSP) — in the face of continued public opposition, even several of our City Council members have raised questions related to design and scheduling that have gone unanswered. Just this past week, Councilmember Kathy Huckabay stated that “There are a lot of questions that I’ve been hearing from the community that I can’t answer.” What is appalling is that some council members raised the same concerns a year ago when they were being pushed to approve. The city promised and failed to answer.

I have this philosophy that as we age we put numerous layers on top of us that slow us down in all aspects of life.
