OLYMPIA – On Wednesday
of next week, the Washington State Transportation
Commission will join with city, county, and
other officials in Richland to discuss local
and regional transportation needs in South
Central Washington as part of its statewide
outreach efforts. On Tuesday afternoon, Commissioners
will tour local and state roadway projects,
as well as a new rail loading facility as part
of their visit.
The meeting starts at 9 a.m. on Wednesday,
May 24, and will be held at the Courtyard
by Marriott – Richland Columbia Point,
480 Columbia Point Drive, in Richland. The
public is invited to attend the meeting and
will have an opportunity to address Commission
members during a public comment period scheduled
for 3:30 p.m.
The Commission holds several “local
meetings” each year in various cities
throughout the state to gain insight about
transportation issues that affect local communities
and the region. These local meetings are
also an opportunity for local and regional
government officials to raise awareness of
and elevate transportation concerns and issues
to the state level. The Commission will summarize
prominent local issues in an annual report
to the legislature at the end of the year
for their consideration.
