Housing development not a good idea

Did you know that a 38-lot subdivision is going in on Inglewood Hill Road between the traffic circle at 216th Avenue Northeast and 212th Avenue Northeast? I don't know about you, but I moved to this area because of the beauty of Sammamish. Enough with cutting down all the trees to put up the same old cookie cutter houses. Keep Sammamish beautiful!

Housing development

Did you know that a 38-lot subdivision is going in on Inglewood Hill Road between the traffic circle at 216th Avenue Northeast and 212th Avenue Northeast?

Four lots, a detention pond and small stream will be located on the south side of Inglewood Hill and the remaining lots on the north side.

Get ready for a traffic nightmare on one of the main arteries in and out of Sammamish. Not only will there be traffic tie-ups during the construction period, but also think about the traffic entering and leaving the completed development, on a curve, on both the north and south sides of Inglewood Hill Road.

Not only will the developer be cutting down many, many trees in this area (even though they claim they’ll keep what they can – yeah right), but also they will also be cutting off a major wildlife corridor through this part of Sammamish.

Honestly, do we really need a housing development in this area?

Please show your concern. Get involved. Contact Emily Arteche, Senior Planner at 425-295-0522 or email earteche@ci.sammamish.wa.us.
