HIGHWAY 520 Now We Need Your Help

QCYC’s has been working hard to reduce the impact of SR 520 on our club. Our mission is to remain whole during and after construction and at the same time be good stewards of Portage Bay. To that extent the Bridge and Board have endorsed the Pacific Interchange option as opposed to the option known as the Base 6 because, in our opinion, the Pacific Interchange option has the least affect on our club and our neighbors. The Club has also taken the position that the use of temporary bridges during construction of the Portage Bay Bridge will have a negative affect on our club and Portage Bay’s environment.

The new bridge will without question effect Montlake, Portage Bay, Ravenna, Laurelhurst, North Capitol Hill, Roanoke, and Boyer, to name but a few. Your Club, your churches, your schools may be adversely impacted by bad decisions.

Several members have asked how they can get involved. Although bridge construction is a long way off political decisions are being made today that can have an adverse affect on our club. Now is the time to speak up.

I ask that you go to our Club’s website where you will find a list of community club contacts. Get involved. Find out what your community club’s position is on the rebuild of SR 520 and let them know what you think.
