County to receive Interstate/Intercity Transit report on Martin Way area roundabout study
Summary
County staff said Intercity Transit will present a study about whether a roundabout is needed on a county-owned segment of Martin Way; the board will receive the presentation after recess and the item generated public comment last year.
Thurston County staff told the Board of County Commissioners June 18 that Intercity Transit will present its study on whether a roundabout is needed on a county-owned road near Martin Way and U.S. 101.
The item originates from public comments received in 2024 and concerns a stretch of county-owned road in the Lacey area where some constituents oppose a roundabout. County staff said they expect Intercity Transit to present the study at an upcoming meeting after the summer recess and that the county manager’s office is coordinating a briefing for commissioners.
Staff did not provide engineering conclusions at the June 18 meeting; commissioners were only notified that a presentation and staff briefing are forthcoming. Commissioner comments noted constituent opposition in Lacey and neighboring cities’ interests.
Ending: staff will schedule the Intercity Transit presentation for a post-recess meeting and provide commissioners with the study and any associated traffic analysis prior to that briefing.
