One resident's take away from the Port's Open House

Read Debra Sinick's write-up of the Port of Seattle's Open House held in Kirkland on July 9th. She offers some great insights on the future of the corridor and what it means to eastside commuters and recreational users. It can be found on Kirkland Views.

Wonder if 12 commuter trains will cause any congestion during rush hour? See what one train does to traffic at 1:00pm on a Friday afternoon.
Now imagine this happening at 106 more at-grade crossings (for the entire line, that comes to 2568 crossings everyday).
