The East Ballard Community Association plans to host a February Night Out event, Feb. 17. King County Metro will attend to discuss the latest proposals for Ballard's RapidRide.

The event will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at St. Alphonsus School Cafeteria, located at 5816 15th Ave. N.W..
Metro representatives will discuss the latest proposals for RapidRide bus transit in Ballard. Will it replace the #15 or #18?).

This is one of several opportunites to submit public comment on the plan .

The community group will also have a session for neighbors to propose projects to be submitted for Neighborhood Projects Funds grants.

"This will be a great opportunity for us to voice our ideas on how we could use city money toward park and
street improvements in East Ballard," according to a release from the East Ballard Community Association.

Applications are due Feb 27th. Examples of projects funded last year include traffic circles, sidewalk repair, signage and green streets
