This November, Issaquah voters will decide on a traffic improvement bond measure that would fund local projects at:
East Sunset WayNewport Way - 54th Street to State Route 900Newport Way - Maple Street to Sunset WayProvidence Point SignalizationVoters will decide on the $50 million bond measure as part of the November general election ballot. If approved, the City estimates that additional property taxes on a home assessed at $500,000 would not exceed $165 per year.
The list of local projects came together after an extensive public process that started with a community survey, and also included outreach through open houses, social media and online submissions.
In late 2015, the mayor appointed a team of volunteers called the Traffic Task Force, which made recommendations on a potential package of transportation projects earlier this year. In June 2016, the City Council narrowed the potential package to the final four projects.
