Deal could keep bus out of neighborhood

EVERETT – Four years after nearly getting hit by a bus, Dan Stahlberg may finally get his wish of keeping buses away from his house.

Everett Transit drives buses through his neighborhood including down his narrow street. Stahlberg has complained ever since his close call.

A couple in his neighborhood use the bus route and don’t want the route to go away. So they presented a plan to the Everett City Council that would allow the route to continue, but would keep buses off Stahlberg’s street.

The City Council this morning directed staff to consider the proposal.
