SPECIAL MEETING
5:00 P.M.
July 24, 1986
Special meeting was called to consider Findings regarding SR/2 SR/28 Shoreline
Permit.
Council members present: Les Young, Tery McKee, Paul Cassel and Dick McGraw.
City Attorney, Robert Kiesz and City Clerk, Peggy McArthur.
Meeting was called to Order by Mayor, Don Crain.
The Council asked Mr. Roland Cook, with the Department of Transportation if
he had any input.
Mr. Cook said the Department of Transportation has every bit as much concern
about the intersection of 9th and the Highway and they feel it is a safe
intersection. He said there has been only 13 accidents in the last five years.
Mr. Cook said the Department would not remove a system that has been working
well. He also said, studies prove that people will use the quicker, easier
way and won't walk a half block if there is a more convenient way of crossing.
Mr. Cook said the Department feels the push button is safer as drivers of
vehicles are watching for foot traffic. If there is an overpass or underpass,
the driver of a vehicle is not looking for a pedestrian or bike.
' Tery McKee said he felt the bike and pedestrian path would have a large volume
of use response and as time passes, the reclamation bridge will be used more
and he said he did not agree with Mr. Cook that the button control is the
safest way to go.
Paul Cassel said he would like to see the studies done by the Department of
Transportation concerning overpass vs. push buttons at intersection. He said he
did not want to act as a Planner so suggested the Planning Commission review
the Department's studies, look at the speed limit and discuss some of the data
that was not presented to them at their first Hearing.
Dick McGraw said he was just interested in making the intersection more secure
so people don't have to push the button and then run heck.
There being no further input, the City Council having reviewed the request of
the State of Washington State Department of Transportation for issuance of a
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit within the municipal boundaries of the
City and having reviewed the report and recommendation of the East Wenatchee
Planning Commission and received input from the public and having discussed
the matter among themselves, made the following findings:
1. That as a part of the construction of proposed SR 28 within the corporate
boundaries of the City of East Wenatchee, there is to be constructed a
' bicycle path and pedestrian walkway, which path and walkway will parallel
the highway on the river side and will connect into the walking bridge
across the Columbia River between East Wenatchee and Wenatchee.
