Summary
The council unanimously approved a letter to King County Metro asking that proposed changes to Route 372 preserve rider connections and service continuity; neighboring jurisdictions were invited to sign on.
The Lake Forest Park City Council unanimously approved a letter to King County Metro on June 25 asking Metro to retain key elements of Route 372 service and to consider rider impacts in any routing changes.
Vice Chair Goldman introduced edits that emphasized maintaining the 372, centering riders in the analysis and clarifying the letter’s language. Councilmembers cited community use of the route for regional connections, student travel patterns and business corridor access; some members said neighboring jurisdictions (Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville) have expressed interest in signing on.
The council approved the letter by voice vote and directed city staff to circulate the finalized version to neighboring councils for potential signatures and to invite a Metro representative to brief the council in July.
Next steps: Staff to finalize and transmit the letter to King County Metro and coordinate sign-on opportunities with neighboring jurisdictions.
