King County hosts open house to
discuss Klahanie pedestrian safety

King County’s Road Services Division is hosting a drop-in open house about potential pedestrian safety improvements on Klahanie Drive Southeast/Southeast Klahanie Boulevard.

The open house will be held Tuesday, April 29, from 6:30-8 p.m. at Challenger Elementary School, 25200 SE Klahanie Blvd., Issaquah.

The first neighborhoods in Klahanie, a planned community of 11,000 residents, were built more than 20 years ago. The county is looking to update some of the existing crosswalks on the main thoroughfare through the community, and would like input from residents on the ideas and how to prioritize projects.

Road Services engineers will describe a variety of possible improvements, such as: streetlights at crosswalks; radar speed signs; or shortening the crosswalk distance by adding extended curbing. Community members are invited to drop in and comment on their preferences.

Comments can also be submitted by:

• E-mail Lynne Tucker;

• In writing to: Lynne Tucker, King County Dept. of Transportation Community Relations, KSC-TR-0824, 201 S Jackson St., Seattle, WA 98104;

• Recording a voice message at 206-263-4515.

All comments are due by Friday, May 9.
