November Monthly Meeting Announcement
Issaquah Hobart Road Traffic Issues
The Greater Maple Valley Unincorporated Area Council (GMVUAC) will hold its monthly meeting on Monday, November 4, from 7:00 to 9:30 PM at the Maple Valley Fire Station (SE corner of SE 231st St / SR-169 intersection across from the Sheriff’s Precinct).
Our Guest Speaker, retired Traffic Planner Mike Birdsall, will present recently generated information on traffic counts and patterns at key intersections along Issaquah-Hobart Road as a result of last summer’s temporary Landsburg Bridge closure. The Area Council also will discuss several other issues of local importance such as King County Planning, Proposed Cedar Hills Landfill Expansion, Proposed Adult Beverage Ordinance, State-Monitored Mine Cleanup Actions, etc.
Members of the public are always welcome to attend and can address the Area Council on any local issue of concern during an Open Comment period at the start of each meeting. Your Area Council represents unincorporated area residents living in the Tahoma
School District and advocates to King County—our local government—and the Puget Sound Regional Council—our regional planning organization—on issues of importance to local citizens in the areas of growth management, transportation, environment, and economy. King County, Regional, and State officials often address the Area Council at its monthly meetings. Please see: www.gmvuac.org.
The 16-seat Area Council currently has three open seats. If you would like to be considered for Area Council membership, please send such a request to: info@gmvuac.org. The easiest way to both seek membership on the Area Council (or one of its committees) and provide your opinions on a variety of local issues is to take the online 2019 Citizens’ Survey at: www.gmvuac.org–just click on the “Survey” button.
