Transfer Station / NERTS Updates
Transfer Station / NERTS Updates
The Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Northeast Transfer Station project was posted on March 10th. The Houghton Transfer Station has reached end of life, and King County is deciding where to build a new facility. They will either make a new facility on the current transfer station property, or acquire a property in Woodinville.
King County Solid Waste Division is expected to make a final siting decision before the end of March. View the final EIS here.

SRHBT Neighborhood General Meetings (Public Welcome!)
2025 Dates:
March 11 7:00pm
Meet and Greet with Kirkland Police
Special Guest: King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci. Questions will include:
"Metro transit service to South Rose Hill-Bridle Trails has steadily deteriorated, beginning with the loss of Route 265 to downtown Seattle. Then one by one, Metro eliminated routes serving the Houghton Park and Ride. Subsequently Metro closed the Park and Ride, the rationale given being that the facility was not being used. Unlike other Eastside cities, Kirkland no longer has direct transit service to Downtown Seattle. What can be done to bring back this service?"
If the current 60th St site is selected for the new NERTS, the South Rose Hill/Bridle Trails Neighborhood Association would like to know, now, what the process will be to solicit neighborhood input on the mitigation and improvements that will come along with the new facility. We want to know the specific timeline, who will be included in the outreach (just adjacent properties, the whole neighborhood, the whole city, or some other subgroup?), and how we will be solicited to give input. We ask that the SRH/BT Neighborhood Association specifically is included in any outreach or communications regarding the negotiation of the mitigation and improvements, as well as any updates or opportunities.

2025 Neighborhood Safety Projects Update
2025 Neighborhood Safety Projects Update
City Staff reviewed our project ideas on February 25th, and the Neighborhood Panel meeting happened on March 5th. The Neighborhood Panel will turn in scores by March 28th, and we will meet on that day to determine which projects to recommend to the Transportation Commission and City Council.
Idea 1: Improving the path along the east side of 132nd Ave NE from at least NE 66th St until Old Redmond Rd. Improvements would include cutting back ivy, re-grading the path, and placing fresh crushed gravel. In previous years, people have requested a crosswalk at NE 66th St to get to the shopping center, but the idea didn't meet city standards. This project would make it easier for folks coming from Bridleview to make it down to the crosswalk at Old Redmond Rd and cross 132nd Ave NE, particularly for people using mobility aids.
Idea 2: Traffic calming along the curve that connects NE 80th St and 116th Ave NE. Our neighbor's idea is to add stripes or other markings across the pavement so that drivers watch their speed. It's easy to go too fast in this area, particularly in the downhill direction, and LWHS students walk through here. People on bikes coming from the pedestrian bridge across I-405 also sometimes cross the road here, so traffic calming would be a positive addition.
