Passing Lane

Passing Lane Update
GARDINER, WA - October 3 - A public meeting to present an update on the proposed Gardiner truck passing lane will be held at the Gardiner Community Center, 980 Old Gardiner Road, at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, October 13.
The meeting, sponsored by the Committee to Oppose the Gardiner Passing Lane, will give Gardiner residents an opportunity to hear results of a review of the project that WSDOT Assistant Engineer David Garlington promised at an earlier public meeting held in September.
Garlington and Kevin Dayton, WSDOT Region Administrator, will discuss their findings and address specific safety and environmental concerns raised by the committee and local citizens. State Representative Kevin Van de Wege and Patsy Feeley, Assistant to Senator Jim Hargrove will also attend the meeting.
 The proposed truck passing lane is scheduled to begin in May and would be one of four passing lanes constructed within an eight mile stretch between Discovery Bay and Sequim. The committee’s goal is to have the project terminated and its $3 million funding redirected to other highway projects within the district.
