Council approves six-year street plan; chip-seal program highlighted
Summary
Council members approved a six-year street plan 9-0 after discussion of chip-seal projects, street ratings and potential coordination with WSDOT for intersection improvements.
The Raydeer City Council unanimously approved a six-year street plan after members discussed priorities for chip-seal projects and longer-term intersection improvements.
The council debated priorities and condition ratings for local streets, with staff noting Molesky Drive will be the lowest-rated street after upcoming chip seals. The mayor moved to approve the plan and the motion was seconded; the council then voted to approve the plan "Motion passed. 9 0." The council also discussed pursuing preliminary funding for right-of-way acquisition and later design and construction phases, which staff said could take several years and require "several million dollars."
Council members urged coordination with the Washington State Department of Transportation on potential roundabouts and intersection upgrades on connector streets such as Center Street and Minnesota Street. Staff said initial phases include traffic studies and design work before construction can be scheduled. "So it takes a few years, at least," a staff member said of the funding and construction timeline.
The measure passed 9-0 with no recorded individual roll-call votes in the transcript. The council indicated it will return to specific project funding and timing as grant applications and state coordination progress.
