Clearly there is a lot to be done on our state roads. Recent blog posts here on Street Smarts about Snohomish County wish-list items, such as a long-sought westbound U.S. 2 trestle, are mere potholes in a vast road map of discontent.
But there’s not enough money to go around. So what projects do you think should be shown the money?
If you have your own ideas about priorities, here are some places to take your 37.5 cents:
- Talk to your local lawmaker, especially if he or she sits on a transportation committee in the House or Senate. If you don’t know who your local lawmakers are, go to leg.wa.gov or call 800-562-6000. Share personal anecdotes.
- For U.S. 2 into Everett, you can leave a comment with WSDOT’s study group at http://tinyurl.com/US2comments.
- Get in on discussion threads through the Washington State Transportation Commission. Submit ideas, vote on existing ones or add comments. Volunteer to be a survey participant, too. Go to http://wstc.wa.gov.
