Regards, CLARK CLOSE, Principal Planner City of Renton | CED | Planning Division 1055 S Grady Way | 6th Floor | Renton, WA 98057 Virtual Permit Center | Online Applications and Inspections (425) 430-7289 | cclose@rentonwa.gov From: Chrysocolla Dawn <chrysocolladawn@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2023 3:28 PM To: Clark Close <CClose@Rentonwa.gov> Subject: Renton Landing Bus Stop (Don't remove it) Hello! One of the tenants where I live was bragging about sending you a letter asking for a local bus stop to be removed, and I'd like to say that's not a solution to anything she's describing. The crime rate of the area isn't "exceptionally high" because of a bus stop, and removing it would be detrimental to a lot of tenants here who rely on it for affordable commuting. Mass Transit in any community is very important considering a lot of people have no other conveyance available to them. Just wanted to let you know her sentiment is not one that's widely shared among the people here, and is fueled by selfish intent. Thank you very much for your time, and all that you do. -- Jeffrey P.
