“Thank you, Chair Dunn. Obviously, you zipped through some of those slides pretty quickly, and so I just got brief snippets. But early on, let's back up to Alderwood Mall. I notice you're not going right through the middle of Alderwood Mall. So Alderwood Mall is safe, correct? Is that safe to say?”

“So I don't think anybody would really object to going through a parking lot. I mean, it's not going to really disrupt much going through a parking lot. think we would all agree that if it went right through the middle of the mall it would be a huge disruption to have many many businesses correct yes we've been in contact with the business owners there's a couple different property owners there at the mall but we've been working with them with the city of Linwood as well through this whole process to make sure that we're hearing their concerns so we're not just building through and not…”

“Okay, and the reason I bring that up is, I don't know, maybe two years ago, three years ago, some folks at Alderwood Community Church reached out to me. I think one of the designs was going to go right through the middle of their church, a 100-year-old church. I think we fixed that problem, and I don't think that that's a problem anymore, correct?”

“Yeah, and I'm not concerned if it avoids the property or not. It's just I don't want to see it go right through the middle of a 100-year-old church.”

“Okay, that brings me to my second point. So as you go to 164th, I was reached out maybe two years ago by some people at a church on 164th who are concerned. Obviously, you're on the west side of I-5 in Linwood. It appears one of the plans or the plan is to cross over I-5 near 164th where this church is. I think it makes sense to go up the power line corridor and the trail there. That's fine. And then it crosses back over I-5 back to the west side again over at 128th. So my question is, whatever this design is, it's crossing over I-5 twice. Is it going to go right through the middle of a…”

“I just have two questions left. So talked about the businesses at the mall, talked about the two churches there. Now as you get to 128th, there's a plan right by, I think, Safeway there. It looks like you're avoiding Safeway, but... Could be in front of it, could be behind it from the two alternatives. Again, my thing is I'm not opposed to light rail. I just want to make sure it's not going to be a disruption to our businesses, a disruption to our faith-based community, and it's not a disruption to the public and that we're looking for options that are the least disruptive. So I'm assuming…”

“So I said I had two questions, but you spurred another one with that comment. So I've toured several of the businesses there in that. area that you mentioned a lot of our East Indian community has businesses right there at that strip mall. So I just want to put it on the record. I am very concerned if we're going to disrupt our East Indian community businesses, the Safeway in that strip mall. I hope we can find an alternative that does not disrupt that community. And then lastly, as you go up, I saw you come up Highway 526 into Everett, Casino Road area. Obviously, that's one of the highest…”

“Well, just a comment. My least disruption to businesses, least disruption to our faith-based community, least disruption to our ethnic community, that's all stuff that I what hope you guys are looking at, but thank you for the presentation today.”

“I think I'm going to get outvoted here, but I have a lot of cities in my district, so it's really hard. I mean, Council District 2, I think you just have two cities and the tribes. I have five cities plus a bunch of unincorporated areas, so 150 is a lot easier to spread out across East County than in a confined area, so... That sounds like I'm going to get outvoted on that.”

“I think that's a good idea. A work group would definitely be helpful with the process. I just think the process is simpler than that. I would just hope we could get agreement with the executive's office to get back to kind of where we were before and not have to go through work group route because I think we have a lot of work groups and a lot of different committees so I'm open to the executives office kind of walking back where we've kind of been over the lot recently and kind of getting it back to where it was before and not going to the work group but if we're not going to get get…”

“Yeah, I echo the same comments. I appreciate Lance from Sherwood Community Services being here today. And he has spent a lot of time with me over the years, educating me on this particular subject. And through that, I've been able to also tour several businesses, both here in Snohomish County and Skagit County in this area. And so I think it's a great resolution to have today. Also, we have Gary O'Reilly with us, too. And so, Gary, good to see you, too. So thank you.”
