County proposes raising Klahanie Boulevard speed limit

The King County Road Services Division will hold a public hearing Thursday, Nov. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Challenger Elementary School to gather public comment on a proposal to raise the speed limit on Klahanie Boulevard and Klahanie Drive.

The division is considering raising the speed limit from 25 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour on Klahanie Boulevard and Klahanie Drive from Issaquah-Pine Lake Road to Issaquah-Fall City Road. A traffic analysis was recently performed, and division engineers found the current speed limit is inconsistent with the roadway and area’s character.

The hearing will be held at the Challenger Elementary School, 25200 SE Klahanie Boulevard, Issaquah. Comments will also be accepted through Monday, Nov. 26, and should be sent to Scott Sawhill, MS: KSC-TR-0222, 201 S. Jackson Street, Seattle, WA, 98104-3856.

Comments can also be faxed to (206) 296-0176 or emailed. For more information, call the Traffic Engineering Section at (206) 263-6134.
