The Reporter’s Sept. 6 editorial in which you asked drivers to “slow down and obey the 20 mph speed limit in school zones” resonates deeply with us who live on a residential street in a school zone.

Steve Booth is committed to calming the traffic effectively, not only in school zones, but throughout all other residential neighborhoods in Bothell adversely affected by speeding, cut-through traffic. The reason is that a priority of his campaign is public safety.

Booth received the most votes in the primary campaign and earned a broad range of endorsements. Besides being trustworthy, hardworking and knowledgeable, he is fair-minded and offers a balanced approach toward Bothell’s environment and economic development for a sustainable future. As a resident and a member of the Downtown Stakeholders Resource Group, I support Booth for Bothell City Council Position 5 and urge everyone to vote for him in the November General Election. Thank you.
