A member of the community came thinking the meeting was about streams.  Jeanne Hannah is witnessing a stream side neighbor acting illegally with plantings etc in the steam & buffer and says she is having little or no success in getting DDES’s attention to the problem

I mentioned the terrific access our community has to many things King County handles through
their Community Service Centers   The Cottage Lake office at Avondale and Woodinville /Duvall
Rd NE is one of 7 service centers in King County where citizens can conduct county business without driving to Seattle.  They can apply for passports during evening hours.  Our office is open Wednesday afternoons, Thursdays and Fridays….stop in and learn more!

The meeting began about 8PM and because of the size of our group. We circled our chairs to hear Paulette's presentation.  She had the following handouts:

      Þ Transportation Needs Report on Projects within the Upper Bear Creek Unincorporated Area
            as of 3-23-10.  This is a 20-year projection report on area needs.            

• A list and map of Projects in the Upper Bear Creek Unincorporated area of  King Co.

with Budget figures, Construction year dates, Location, Scope and Status for
2010-2014  (a six-year plan)

• A Progress report noting five ongoing projects within our community, locations and comments.

The above all generated questions that Paulette either answered or took notes to find answers for, and get back to us with them.  Paulette referred us to the King County Web site for some of our answers
And more complete information.  The phone number for traffic emergencies is 206 296 6596.

Kurt Hughes gave an update on the “A Better Avondale” efforts to have a portion of Avondale overlaid with AS or Quiet Asphalt.  Progress on this can be found on their website.  “Next Gen-
