Mountlake Terrace: City conducts transportation survey
This fall, city officials will draft a plan they hope will result in improved bus service. Before that happens, officials want input from residents — both those who ride buses and those who don’t — about how they get around. The survey can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/s/mltresident. A paper version of the survey is available by calling 425-744-6266.
