Lynnwood Transportation Board to discuss options Tuesday
Published 10:21 am Monday, January 19, 2015
The Lynnwood Transportation Benefit District board plans to discuss its options at a meeting Tuesday.
The meeting will be the board’s first chance to discuss what it may do in response to the November defeat of a tax measure that would have raised sales taxes in the city to pay for improvements to streets and sidewalks.
Lynnwood Tax Benefit District Proposition 1 lost in November by a 53 percent to 47 percent margin.
Transportation Benefit Board Chairman and Lynnwood City Council President Loren Simmonds said Friday that the board doesn’t expect to take any action at the Tuesday 6 p.m. meeting.
“It will probably be discussed several times before any final determination is made — perhaps being pushed into 2016,” Simmonds said.
The District board includes the seven members of the Lynnwood City Council.
