2018 City Budget and Our District 5

The table below with highlights from the adopted 2018 City budget is from our District 5 City Council Member Deborah Juarez’s office.  In addition to the Lake City Community Center and the expansion of the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program, it highlights a number of other projects and programs of interest to District 5, including funding for Vision Zero traffic safety projects along Lake City Way, Sand Point Way and Aurora Avenue, and a continued commitment to replace the inadequate SPD North Precinct building.

LEAD expansion will proceed in 2018 based on a plan that will be submitted to the City Council early next year for review and approval.  If you are interested to learn more about the plan to be proposed and how it might affect North Seattle, please plan to attend the North District Council meeting on Tuesday, January 2, which will feature Tara Moss, the Seattle-King County LEAD Project Director.  The meeting will start at 7 p.m. at Lamb of God Lutheran Church, at 12509 – 27th Ave NE, in Lake City.
