I started working on replacing the 520 bridge in 1995 as part of the first Regional Design Committee. After I went to the Legislature I worked for several years on the team negotiating final legislation and funding that actually got the job done. My colleagues and I never gave up
Now we have to keep the pressure on to complete the corridor from Montlake to I-5.

Recently, I submitted a request to the Capital Budget to secure the funds needed to repair the Cross Kirkland Corridor. We are working to improve pedestrian safety and access. Along with roads, public transit, and other crucial infrastructure, ferries are central to Washington state’s iconography. We are looking now for a new vendor to build our ferries and working hard to overcome budget challenges for this project. I am committed to improving and advancing transportation efficiency, safety, and accessibility for all.
