Please attend the meeting on Jan 5 at Bastyr University and please ask Park Commissioners to stop any and all significant adverse environmental impacts to St. Edward State Park’s natural habitats, by either Mr. Daniel’s hotel project or the other project by City of Kenmore to replace the grass field with artificial lighted ballfield, something that would eliminate the darkness needed by birds/amphibians, plants to stay natural.

We must protect our nature by assessing the cumulative impacts of the hotel+the artificial ballfield. Thanks to John Hendrickson, we proved the city did not utilize best available science in promoting the artificial lighted ballfield, but we need to hold strong to protecting nature by not letting the hotel be accepted without first requiring the Daniels project require protection of the natural habitat surrounding the hotel project.

Further info available at Citizens For St. Edward State Park web site.

Dear All,

See attached PDF letter.
And please attend Dec 12 2016 Council meeting at Kenmore City Hall to learn more.

Thank you.

Ms. Eccles,

It is our understanding, according to the previously issued schedule, the Final Decision was due yesterday, November 28, 2016, in the above-referenced matter. Dawn Reitan, attorney for the City of Kenmore, is wondering if it is possible to email the decision to all parties, provided it was issued yesterday. We have not yet received a copy.

Help us bring all the scary 520 bridge demolition evidence to a tipping point by making it plain to see by all on an interactive map.

There are essentially two types of data that are helpful to populate in the map:

REPORTS

Reports are user submitted input, that is shared directly on the map. E.g. Questions, Ideas, Observations, Complaints, Comments, Photos, etc.

To add a report, go to http://lakewashington.us/place/605 and hit the big orange button that says “PUT A COMMENT ON THE MAP”.

Mark your location (by dragging the map), fill out the form, upload a photo if you can, and hit “SUBMIT”.

LANDMARKS

Landmarks highlight key areas and provide general information. An example of a landmark is the dioxin report from Army Corps of Engineers here.

Landmarks give you more power for customization, so we can embed YouTube videos in them, make photo galleries, include special buttons and hyperlinks etc.

Currently only map administrators can add landmarks. We are working on a self service editor, but for now we are using a simple Google Doc system. All you have to do is add the information you want into this spreadsheet.

As landmarks entries are added to the table, they will be periodically imported into the map.

Shortcuts in the demolition project are unfair to public health and safety, federally protected species under the ESA and our environment. The demolition of the old 520 bridge is not being conducted in a proper manner. It appears now that our citizens, our legislators, our media and our Governor’s staff were all given false information on July 14, 2016 as well as in other meetings and discussions. We need support from our leaders at the highest levels to prevent our environment from being bombarded with toxins and we need Governor Inslee and WSDOT and DOE to understand the citizens have justified concerns. There are economic as well as environmental consequences to a poorly planned demolition of this old Floating Bridge. Since the hidden costs of a poorly executed demolition could harm our economy in the future, taking time to pause and rethink the sites for the rubblization seems justified. Since KGM could have leased a site in Tacoma (Concrete Tech) that is far from residential areas, despite it costing them more now, it may be the right way to do this demolition. If KGM took the large parts of the bridge out the Locks, it might cost them more now, but it may prevent a bigger mess in the future for the State of Washington, if toxins, like arsenic, are dispersed in Lake Washington. Additionally, the dioxins are also in the Kenmore Navigation Channel, so barging through that area is detrimental to our environment, economy and public health and safety.

Subject: Ecology’s letter and a proposed sign-on response to Governor asking for temp halt 520 demolition on Lake Washington

Dear 520 demolition concerned friends,

Shortly after 12:30 today, Ecology Director Bellon sent the much anticipated attached response letter and a Q and A attachment to me. There are some important new items in this letter.

I have prepared a review of the letter and attachment in the form of a proposed draft sign-on letter to Governor Inslee, Ecology Director Bellon and Transporation Secretary Millar asking for a temporary halt in the activity while records are disclosed and a dialogue can occur. The draft includes key acknowledgements and concerns that I identified in Director Bellon’s letter and attachment.
