“Thank you. Council Member Brabantle. Other than I'm looking forward to hear about the great plans for District 4 for next year. I don't have any comments. Thank you.”
“I'm just wondering if we raise the tax by the 0.3% that we can, can Everett Transit provide the same amount of service that Community Transit is offering if we approve the merge?”
“So on the ILA employee protections slide, there is this bullet point that says city will bargain future contract provisions in good faith following effective date. This is the regular union contract, right? There's nothing special about it. It's just the period comes and it's time to negotiate it. Well, it is what it is.”
“The other question I have is, given that the population in Everett is expected to double in the next 10 years, if we don't think about transit today, is there a possibility for our main roads to collapse due to large amounts of congestion?”
“Right. In other words, if we don't make a good call this time, we are facing the possibility of saying that Everett is one hour away from Everett pretty much.”
“Rick... Going back to a little bit of that conversation about having to do multiple transfers to reach to certain locations. I live in District 4, which is South Everett, and to get to the light rail station, to the Lingwood light rail station, I need to take two buses or I need to take an Uber or, you know, there is no direct connection to the to the light rail. So if the marriage is approved, how long before the folks in District 4 can have a direct connection to the Lingwood light rail station?”
“We're still on the week without driving. You still have one more day to give public transportation or a micro mobility device a chance. Today I rode my bicycle from District 4. Well, actually, I rode to the Swift Blue Lane bus stop, and I was dropped right here on Pacific Avenue. And then I rode here, and I was nice and clean. So please give a public transit or a micromobility device a chance tomorrow if you can. Thank you.”
“I already mentioned this last time, but I'm going to just repeat that again. Thank you so much, Major Franklin. Thank you so much to the city staff, to the parks folks for making this possible. We in District 4, we are super excited and super happy to have our new park. So thank you so much.”
