    City must justify parkway spending
    City must justify parkway spending
    March 5, 2009 4:07 pm

    In this time of economic downturn the city should be showing more fiscal accountability and courage. Instead I am watching our city pushing forward on expensive projects without justification or without money.

    The comment by the 520 tolling commission about using tolling to “change driving behavior” by forcing people to choose between tolls on 520 or traffic back-ups on I-90 is totally offensive.

    It is very satisfying to see the Issaquah City Council stand up to our “tax and spend” bureaucrats. The 2009 property tax will not be increased by the usual 1 percent limit. Deputy finance director Trisha Draycott gave her pitch for the increase, but wiser heads on the council prevailed and unanimously rejected the requested increase. We are fortunate for our council’s action, since some surrounding communities have no such options due to their spending habits. Thank you, Issaquah council.

    Make drivers stop talking; enforce fines
    November 6, 2008 1:38 am

    I agree halfway with Mike West’s recent “Drive Time” column about not texting or calling while driving. He hits the nail on head when he asserts that one shouldn’t call or text while driving. To me, that’s as basic as not driving with an uncovered latte in your hand. However, to contribute drivers’ continued use of their non-headset cell phones to “greed, selfishness and instant gratification” is a stretch, in my view. It’s much more simple than that. It’s simple economics, not psychology.

    I would like to commend those responsible for the revised traffic lanes to Issaquah Middle School. In years past the passageway between the Community Center and the middle school parking lot were congested with both school buses and parent driven autos. This created too much auto/bus/foot traffic at the NE intersection, of the swimming pool block. This year that revised passageway is used only by the school buses. The commute near the Community Center is more orderly and safer. Thank you to those that have created this sensible traffic feature.
