Jon Decker and Dick Dunn are hosting a meeting to inform and engage the community with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. They will first explain the 106 process to those of you who are unfamiliar with it. Then we will break out into smaller groups to address specific areas of Montlake that are potentially affected by either the construction of the 520 Bridge or the final design. During this process you will be able to suggest mitigation for the affected properties. This will be our second meeting and it was clear to me after listening to the input at our first meeting that the creative ideas and comments come from neighbors who live, commute and work in Montlake.

Montlake, more than any neighborhood will suffer impacts from not only the construction but the final bridge design. Jon has worked for years with his committee to provide us with this final opportunity to comment on adverse effects and be heard. I urge you to attend this meeting on Tuesday, October 12th in the Tudor Room at the Montlake Community Center at 7:00pm.
