Summary

Kittitas County Public Works requested a public hearing to consider reducing the speed limit on Umtanum Road after a formal study scored high enough to warrant a full speed study; the board set the matter for further action.

Kittitas County Public Works on May 6 asked commissioners to set a public hearing to consider reducing the speed limit on Umtanum Road (also referred to as Umtannum/Montana Road in the staff presentation) from 50 mph to 35 mph after a citizen request and a subsequent speed study.

Cameron Curtis said the county received the request in 2024 and that the initial scoring warranted a full speed study, which was brought to a study session on April 14. Following direction from that session, staff expanded the study area from milepost 1.69 to 2.68; the hearing will consider a speed reduction for the section from milepost 1.00 to 2.68.

The item was presented as a procedural step to schedule a public hearing so the community can provide input on the possible speed limit change.
