Thank you for your thorough, fair and thoughtful coverage of local news in Burien.

It is increasingly evident that 152nd Street is in the midst of an exciting renaissance, filling with unique family-owned businesses drawing patrons from throughout the region.

Accordingly, we propose the street be given a new name, perhaps even "Main Street." A new and memorable name will highlight the importance of 152nd as the past, present and future Heart of downtown Burien.

We hope that civic leadership and the City Council will provide the street with a new designation, one that will formally recognize the most exciting and attractive village-scaled "main street" between downtown Seattle and Tacoma.
