WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS -PRESENTATION OF PLANS
FOR BROADWAY AVENUE EXTENSION.
Mr.David Swanson,District Engineer,was present,along with Dan O'Brien,
Bill DeWeert and Paul Rhodes of the Highway Department.
&\%
Mr.Swanson stated the project runs from Date Street to the intersection of
SR-17.We are firm in what we think should be done on the section from
Date Street and Block Street.We are proposing a curbed section which would
be 48 feet between curbs.The section from Block Street to the Intersection
of SR-17 is still subject to discussion.Should we improve that section within
the existing right of way,we would propose two 12-ft.lanes with 4-ft.shoulders.
Should the City be successful in acquiring additional right of way along this
section,strong consideration will be given to two 12-ft.lanes with 10-ft.shoulders
We plan to have an informal session with the property owners on this section
at a meeting scheduled for April 20th to discuss this project and get opinions
of the property owners»To fully qualify this project for future federal aid it
would be necessary to at least offer the opportunity for a design hearing which
is a federal requirement.Construction-wise we are getting well along into
the year to get it accomplished this year;late fall paving has not been satis
factory and prefer to schedule paving for the spring and get a much more
satisfactory job.
Upon inquiry by Gordon Ebbert,Mr.Swanson stated that the existing width
of the section is 40 feet and the new construction would be 48 feet wide out
to the City limits.Hopefully it can be worked out to handle the financing for
the wider section.If we do not have the wider right of way and have to con
struct in the present right of way it will be two 12-ft.lanes with 4 -ft.shoulders.
In either case the only difference would be the wider shoulders if the right of
way is procured.
Councilman Moe -What do you have planned for the intersection of Highway 17?
Mr.Swanson -All we have planned is a flashing beacon.The funding is not
available to do the job properly,which would mean relocating the County Road,
Broadway Extended,and to do that would require some expensive right of ways,
and just now financially unable to handle it.
Councilman Moe -There is a high rate of traffic at this,intersection.
Mr.Swanson -The Traffic Engineer has been looking into it and feels a
flashing beacon will be adequate for the present time.
Councilman Moe -Are you going to have any information as to the accident
rate at the intersection at the meeting scheduled for next week?
Mr.Swanson -If we can get the accurate figures from the State,we will have it.
Mayor Skaug thanked Mr.Swanson and other members of the Highway Depart
ment present,and stated the Council will be awaiting the results after the
April 20th meeting.
