Got an email from Claudia Balducci bragging that they’d passed a supplemental budget. Hidden in her bulleted list was this item:
- $100,000 to design a commemoration of Japanese American Farmers as part of the Eastrail (formerly the Eastside Rail Corridor) crossing at NE 8th Avenue in Bellevue;
At least the name “Eastrail” is better than any of the options they put up for a vote – and it’s good to know that they are spending money on what will be a big-deal crossing at NE 8th.
