The Herald carried an article Tuesday relating to the anticipated decision by the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Hearings Board of the Everett shoreline master program appeal (“Growth board will settle Everett plan”). Thank you for your coverage of this important issue.
As chair of the Everett Shorelines Coalition, I wish to clarify that the coalition has never opposed a bike path and in fact counts bike enthusiasts among its supporters. Our appeal included a strong claim for appropriate and safe public access to our shorelines, particularly those in public hands.
In addition, the coalition’s appeal has stressed reasonable and appropriate uses for the five sites identified in the article. We have strongly urged protection and enhancement of wildlife resources, public uses for public shorelands and adherence to the highest scientific standards for shorelines designated as having statewide significance.
