The City of Kirkland is creating a Station Area Plan for city property surrounding the NE 85th Street intersection (the intersection itself is DOT property). The purpose of the plan is to look at how neighborhoods near the station can leverage the Sound Transit regional transportation investment (BRT station and intersection upgrades) to create the most value and quality of life for Kirkland.

Note: the Station Area Plan does not address the intersection upgrades or the BRT station itself, because those are not city projects.

The Station Area Plan Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Draft SEIS) will be available on January 5 at https://www.kirklandwa.gov/stationareaplan. Submit written comments between Jan 5 and Feb 5 to Allison Zike at az...@kirklandwa.gov.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) looks at possible impacts and mitigation measures for several plan alternatives being studied, across elements like air quality, aesthetics, stormwater, transportation, housing, public services, and more. The Draft SEIS provides information to help pick the best plan for the future of the Station Area.
