Councilmember Magdoff opened the meeting.
1. Project Development Manager Tom Wachholder presented information regarding
truck routes within the City of East Wenatchee. The intent of the discussion is to
decide whether the City Council would like to keep the existing truck route in
place or be concurrent with the 2014 Wenatchee Urbanized Area Freight Study.
In 2018, City Council amended Ordinance 2017-19 to establish a supporting
truck route for commercial vehicles transporting agricultural commodities entering
the City from the north. The supporting truck route connects to the designated
SR 28 truck route by way of Eastmont Avenue and 9th Street NE. There are
certain exceptions that apply. There are also concerns from a law enforcement
standpoint for officers to properly apply sanctions. As the City continues to grow
there are also concerns as to how the roads will accommodate truck usage in the
future. This topic will have a follow up discussion on a future workshop.
