<DIV><FONT size=2>Sorry Dan, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But 50 years ago urban planning was moving (and has
moved) in the direction of making neighborhoods safe enclaves without
arterials wherever possible. Not only do arterials make neighborhood
pedestrian/vehicle navigation more unsafe and undesirable, but they
eliminate places where children can have friendly neighborhood games, ride their
tricycles/bicycles, or people can walk across the street to chat with their
neighbors. Arterials promote/enable community/neighborhood discontinuity
instead community/neighborhood cohesiveness and harmony.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Arterials should go around or between neighborhoods, not
through them wherever possible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The traffic planning for Moscow has been atrocious and special
interest guided for many years. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The current ring road is an egregious example. There are
some very simple, relatively inexpensive ways to reroute a lot of traffic
from the downtown arterials, but somehow they are not part of the current
plan. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Examples:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Reroute traffic going east to north (and south to west)
through the UI farm to Mix road to US 95 and/or cooperate with Whitman county to
move it to Airport Road though O'Donnell Road to Mix Road to US 95.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>For traffic going north to east (or west to south) reroute
traffic to Palouse River Road to Mountain View Road and/or Lenville
Road.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>For traffic going East to south (or north to west) cooperate
with Whitman County to upgrade the Old Moscow-Pullman Highway with a connection
near Moscow to Palouse River Road and or upgrade the Sand Road/Palouse River
Road connection.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>These alternatives would be favored by the heavy local traffic
and would not generally be used by non-local through traffic who some merchants
delusionally think they can coerce into supplying patronage by forcing them into
Moscow's downtown.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>These alternatives are very inexpensive when compared to
the ring road and much less disruptive to the urban and rural communities that
would be quite negatively impacted by the proposed ring road.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>These are not new concepts, but stubbornness on the part of
people like Walter Steed and the special interests he really represents instead
of the majority of the citizens of Moscow have managed to torpedo these common
sense solutions. It would not hurt to appoint more highly qualified
persons to the various planning boards. As Saundra Lund once suggested,
maybe they ought at least a minimum IQ should be required for
appointment.</FONT></DIV>

The language in the plan was changed so as not to completely eliminate the
option of a vehicular bridge in the future. Will it be built next
year? In the next five? I don’t know, but whatever happens the option
should be there.</SPAN></FONT></P>
