RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION approving the report of DelLeuw,Cather &
Company, engineering consultants, on the location of an
additional Lake Washington Bridge, recommending construction
of a span parallel to the existing Lake Washington Bridge.
WHEREAS, an independent engineering survey by a
firm of national reputation with the advice of a planning
consultant of like reputation has determined that a
parallel span doubling capacity to eight lanes will satisfy
the needs of the most people and relieve increasingly
intolerable traffic congestion to a much greater extent;and,
WHEREAS, it appears that a parallel span can be
more readily financed with a lesser toll spread equally
among all benefited by relief of congestion, such that the
improvement can be toll free at an earlier date; and,
WHEREAS, a traffic circulation system having as its
foundation parallel spans placing all lanes of travel nearest
the average destination of commuters in Seattle and connected
with the limited access facilities of Highway 2A on the
east and the Seattle -Tacoma -Everett expressway on the west,
appears best suited to the continued orderly development
of the east side of Lake Washington and the City of Medina,
Now therefore, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MEDINA
DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
The City of Medina by its City Council,
after public hearing, approves the construction
of a parallel span as recommended by the
DeLeuw,Cather & Company report as the best
improvement to cross Lake traffic facilities.
THIS RESOLUTION adopted this 23rd day of July,1956.
