The majority of the Langley City Council is on board with a proposal by the Port of Everett to transform the former Mukilteo ferry lanes into long-term parking.
The council approved a resolution Monday night – brought forth by Councilmember Rhonda Salerno – supporting this proposal.
Councilmember Harolynne Bobis, who works in Mukilteo, said more transportation infrastructure is needed to get from the ferry terminal to deeper into Mukilteo.
“I think this is a fabulous idea if you want to get people out of their cars if there’s public transit on the other side to take them where they need to go,” she said.
