Summary

South Cle Elum residents and correspondence prompted discussion about heavy Memorial Day traffic through town and possible local safety impacts. Mayor Pro Tem Allenbaugh read an email from resident Jennifer Freniere outlining concerns; resident Kyle Walker described his discussions with WSDOT and Waze area managers and asked to summarize the main points. After discussion, Allenbaugh directed the Street Committee to look further into the problem.
