During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the importance of infrastructure improvements in the Delta neighborhood, particularly the proposed Henry Jackson bike and pedestrian bridge. Community members emphasized that the bridge would significantly enhance access for local workers, especially those employed at FedEx and Amazon, who often work extended hours beyond public transportation schedules. The current access point to the riverfront adds an additional 20 minutes to their commute, highlighting the urgent need for better connectivity.

Council member Voldway proposed an amendment to include the bridge in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), underscoring its potential to facilitate easier access for residents. The council moved to close the public hearing on the matter, with all members present voting in favor of the motion. The meeting concluded with a sense of collective support for the infrastructure project, which is seen as essential for future grant funding and community development.
