RESOLUTION NO. J
A RESOLUTION urging the State Legislature to creation of a balanced
Department of Transportation and adoption of enabling and funding
legislation to advance realization of mass rapid transit facilities
b in the Seattle Metropolitan area and across Lake Washington.
WHEREAS balanced systems of transportation are characteristic of
-- the great cities of the world, and
WHEREAS the varied topography and several bodies of water here
make the provision of unlimited highway access extraordinarily expensive
In money and other values, and
WHEREAS mass transit upon exclusive right-of-way can most efficiently
move people at hours of peak traffic movement for the relief of other traffic
facilities and speedy carriage of people to their work and recreation, and
WHEREAS mass rapid transit can be designed to do minimum damage to
other elements of the environment such as air, landscape and natural quiet,
Now therefore, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MEDINA DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the Governor be commended for seeking a balanced Department
of Transportation and the Legislature be urged to satisfy his outstanding
and reasonable requests regarding such a department.
2. That the Legislature be further urged to adopt enabling and
funding legislation sufficient to permit early creation in this area of a
mass rapid transit system upon exclusive right-of-way upon the next crossing
of Lake Washington and elsewhere and incorporating express transit service,
all to the end that the greater Seattle Metropolitan area may mature as a
great city of the world with the necessary amenity of a modern, efficient,
balanced transportation system.
9. That copies of this Resolution be sent the Governor, our
Legislative Representatives, and area cities and communications media.
THIS RESOLUTION adopted this 14th day of April, 1969. �.
