City of Shoreline

I came into city hall for Shoreline for a meeting on ³⁄₁₀.
This is a new building, and it’s green, meaning it’s built for the environment. The architecture is lovely, simple and modern.
I love the long fireplace in the lobby along with the piano being used as art with the cloud installment above it. They have art displayed on the walls as well which was nice to admire. I wanted to ask if it was all art done by local artists but forgot.
I met with two different people who worked for the city. Both women were polite, professional and warm.
Parking for visitors is around the back of the building. There are electrical charges for electric cars. You can park across the street at Walgreen’s or the other direction at Trader Joe’s if the city’s lot is full.

Poor leadership and out of touch with citizen concerns. Manage to special interests.

Ok lets get this straight. You spent years expanding highway 99 from 145^th to 185^th. So why does it take longer then ever to commute thru your fine city? Maybe it’s the multiple new pedestrian crossings you placed along this route. I have no problems sharing the road with pedestrians and I want to see them safe. My problem is when ever a metro bus goes by (which is like every5−10 minutes) when they stop by a pedestrian crossing and the riders get off the bus and hit the button to cross the street, it works right away for them and stops all traffic. My question is why cant these crossings get into sync with the traffic signals so we can still have traffic move at a good rate. When I drive thru Shoreline I seem to always get stopped by a ped crossing light right after a bus stops there, don’t want people dying crossing the street but maybe you could hire some engineers that could put the traffic and pedestrian crossing in tune with each other. When you widened the roads it was was the most confusing dangerous road altering construction zones I have ever encountered… where did you hire these people? I also love the new overhead pedestrian/​bike crossing that goes over 99 near New Westminster Way and I am sure the 6 or 7 people that use it daily agree also. I also love how my commute is actually longer now then before you widened the lanes of 99.
