Supporters say their goal is to improve local roadways and add sidewalks.
And in order to pay for those improvements, Kenmore City Council is debating a $20 per-vehicle license-tab fee that would be paid by all city residents.
According to information released by the city, the fee would raise about $346,200 a year, or $3.4 million over 10 years.
“If we do anything like that, it will go to a vote of the people,” vowed Kenmore Mayor David Baker.

I’d be for it. I really want to see the Bothell Way improvements finished, I want to see NE 181st/Remington/Porter sidewalked out and fixed (partic. the intersection at Cat’s Whiskers, which is a total deathtrap), I want to see the link across the river improved - there’re a lot of places we need better sidewalks (particularly sidewalks) and HOV lanes. This is basic infrastructure we’re talking about here, after all.
