MAJOR CONNECTIONS

The Cross Kirkland Corridor Connecting Communities

KIRKLAND’S 5.75 MILE LONG SECTION of the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) is the most densely populated segment along the entire 42 miles. The federal Surface Transportation Board formally approved abandonment of the ERC in 2009. The Cross Kirkland Corridor directly connects to eight of the City’s 13 neighborhoods. At its southern end, the CKC is situated at SR 520 and I-405, providing easy access and connections to the cities of Bellevue, Seattle and Redmond. At its northern end, the CKC connects the Totem Lake Designated Urban Center to the rest of the City and to the region.

CURRENTLY THERE ARE MORE THAN 1,813 businesses located within or touched by a 2,000 ft. buffer of the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) with over 18,568 employees,

including several of the larger businesses in Kirkland – Evergreen, Google, Nintendo, Astronics and Kenworth Truck (Paccar). With its planned multi-modal transportation capabilities, the CKC can be expected to serve as a magnet for new development, both residential and commercial, over the next 20 years. In the Totem Lake Urban Center alone, approximately 20,000 employees and 4,000 new residents are forecasted by 2035, many of whom are likely to be accommodated on property bordering or within easy access to the corridor.
