A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MEDINA
OPPOSING THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION/
WASHINGTON TRANSPORTATION PARTNERS SR 520 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM.
Whereas, the City of Medina desires to make known the
opposition of the residents and elected officials of the City
to the SR 520 Corridor Improvement Proposal between the
Washington State Department of Transportation and the
Washington Transportation Partners, and
Whereas, citizen input indicates an essentially unanimous
opposition to the proposal, and
Whereas, Washington State Department of Transportation
and Washington Transportation Partners have proposed to enter
into a franchise agreement without public input or debate, and
Whereas, all information available concerning the planned
construction evidences that it will have minimal, if any,
beneficial effect while causing numerous adverse effects on
the region, financial, environmental and otherwise, and
Whereas, premature signing of a franchise agreement will
foreclose efforts to find a constructive solution to SR 520
corridor congestion problems,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Medina
strongly opposes both Phase I and Phase II of the Washington
State Department of Transportation/Washington Transportation
Partners SR 520 Corridor Improvement Program.
Unanimously passed by the Medina City Council in regular,
open public meeting the 9th day of January, 1995 and signed in
authentication of its passage the [/ day of January,
1995.
