3. 3. A look-ahead to other spring public meetings and outreach activities including the upcoming public comment period for the SR 520 Montlake Phase Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan (NTMP).

We hope you can join us for these meetings and look forward to sharing information with you as we move forward with building a new, safer and more reliable SR 520 corridor in Seattle.
