New 35W Access Project Resolution Coming Before City
Council; Make Your Voice Heard
At the next full meeting
of the City Council, on December 7th, they are scheduled to take up a
new resolution on the 35W Access Project, sponsored by Council
Members Colvin Roy, Glidden, and Lilligren.
This resolution expresses the City's #1 priority for the project being a
high quality Bus Rapid Transit station at Lake Street. It also supports 35W
access at Lake Street and better connections to the Midtown Greenway. It
proposes to refocus the project to the area between 31st Street and 28th
Street, with parts of the project outside of that area being under
later consideration for a second, later phase.
Lake Street Council urges
members of the business community to read the resolution and contact
Council Members with their opinions. The full resolution, plus a letter
from Council Member Glidden explaining her position and related notes from
November Lake Street Council board meeting, can be found at this page on our
website. The Council's site contains
contact information for each Council Member.

Tribune on the new resolution.
