*The Love Where You Live Project: Community Workshops Kick Off Next Week*
The next phase of Kenmore’s year-long Love Where You Live (LWYL) [ https://www.kenmorewa.gov/our-city/love-where-you-live ] community engagement project is underway, including two community workshops next week at Kenmore Middle School and the Kenmore Community Club. The goal of these workshops is to gather more feedback from community members on two top emerging themes: Community Spaces and Economic Development. There will be a Lakepointe topic table and a downtown topic table and each table will have a hands-on activity, asking people to build 3D models or expressions of their ideas. There will also be information tables about other current and future projects in the city. These events are family-friendly, drop-in style workshops that are open to everyone. 

Workshop dates:


* Tuesday, February 27:

*193rd Street and 61st Avenue Eastbound Right-Turn Slip-Lane Closed Permanently*
The right-turn slip-lane for eastbound drivers on 193rd Street turning south onto 61st Avenue will remain permanently closed. "Why?" The lane was first closed as part of the fish-friendly culvert construction being completed near the intersection. The right-turn slip-lane is directly associated with at least a third of the crashes occurring at that intersection, including at least one reported bicycle crash and six reported injury crashes in the past ten years. Currently, the slip lane is closed using temporary barricades; the temporary closure barricades will be replaced with more permanent barricades at a later date. This change will result in additional delay for drivers traveling east on 193rd Street; however, closing this slip lane also offers a substantial safety benefit for all road users, and will greatly reduce the risk of future crash injuries occurring at this location. Since the slip-lane was closed in July 2023, zero crashes related to right-turning vehicles have occurred, and crashes for the intersection as a whole have decreased by 70%.
