Nearly Three Years Later, No Turn Lane at 200th St SW and Highway 99

Lynnwood residents express growing frustration over the absence of a right turn lane at 200th St SW and Highway 99, nearly three years after the street's vacation. Local commenters have criticized the City Council's decision, questioning why alternative solutions were not considered. Eric Clem pointed out that the delay has lasted almost three years since the closure of the vacated section of 64th Avenue. Beth Johnson highlighted the issue by stating that the right turn lane remains the only unfinished aspect of the original traffic plan. These traffic concerns directly impact local commuters and highlight governance issues within the city.

The community's outcry indicates a demand for accountability from city officials regarding infrastructure decisions. Councilmember Robert Leutwyler's recent award adds another layer to the ongoing discourse about city leadership and responsiveness. Residents are calling for immediate action to address the traffic problems that have persisted for years.
