In a recent government meeting, officials addressed the approval of a resolution for the sale and disposal of county surplus property, including vehicles and equipment. The motion was moved and seconded, receiving unanimous support from the attendees.
Following this procedural matter, the meeting shifted focus to a presentation from the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) regarding traffic safety improvements at the intersection of Pulver Road and State Route 11, also known as Chuckanut Drive. Chris Dimitio, the assistant regional administrator for WSDOT, introduced the topic, highlighting the department's commitment to addressing emerging safety concerns despite previous funding limitations.
Dimitio was joined by traffic engineers Josh Shippy and Jared Cassidy, who detailed the safety initiatives planned for the intersection. Cassidy emphasized the recent identification of safety issues at the site and outlined the steps WSDOT is taking to enhance safety measures. The presentation included a visual overview of the situation, illustrating the department's proactive approach to improving traffic conditions in the area.
The meeting underscored the local government's efforts to manage surplus assets while simultaneously prioritizing public safety through infrastructure improvements.
