Business Input Sought on Cross Kirkland Corridor Master Plan

Local businesses are invited to the Kirkland Business Roundtable’s spring meeting for “the opportunity to help shape the Cross Kirkland Corridor Master Plan.”

An email invitation from the city’s Office of Economic Development says by attending the meeting, businesses become “members of the Cross Kirkland Corridor Founders Club, a business group that supports the corridor development."

From the city’s email:

Highlights of the meeting will include welcome and updates by Mayor Joan McBride and City Manager Kurt Triplett. Lisa Picard, Executive Vice President and Regional Manager SKANSKA, USA will describe her experience developing a building adjacent to the Burke-Gilman Trail and the benefits that a corridor can offer businesses and investors. The Berger Partnership, consultants on the Cross Kirkland Corridor, will present some early concepts for the corridor. Following these presentations, stations staffed by Berger, City of Kirkland, and the Urban Land Use Leadership in Sustainability Team will capture input from businesses on the corridor plan, plan for Totem Lake, Comprehensive and Transportation Plan updates and other planning efforts underway.

The meeting is May 14, 7:30-9:30 a.m., at the Eastside Tennis Center, 10822 117th Place N.E.
