Transportation and Mobility

My focus here is on enhancing mobility for everyone in Issaquah. The Mobility Action Plan will be implemented over the next 10-20 years to create a multimodal transportation system. This involves:

• Investing in public transit, such as Sound Transit's light rail expansion by 2044 or sooner.

• Prioritizing walking and biking, making these options safer.

• Using technology for smarter traffic management.

• Integrating transportation planning with land use for sustainable growth.

• Addressing infrastructure needs and promoting safety with a "safe systems" approach.

Community input will continue to guide these efforts, as highlighted by resident concerns about growth and traffic. Important to me as your Councilmember would be securing funding and collaborating with partners to create an accessible, safe, and efficient transportation network that supports Issaquah's growth and enhances the quality of life.
