RESOLUTION NO. '1- 61-
A RESOLUTION of the City of Port Angeles objecting to
the abandonment or relocation of Primary State High-
way 112 in the City of Port Angeles.
WHEREAS, the Washington State Highway Department is
considering the abandonment or relocation of P. S. H. 112 in
the City of Port Angeles; and
IVHEREAS, the present route of P. S. H. 112 is heavily
used and the most natural and direct route to the west end
of Clallam County for tourist travel, logging trucks, freight
hauling and residents of the west end of the County; and
WHEREAS, the proposed new route would add approximately
ten miles driving distance to the west end of the County, in-
eluding a circuitous route around Lake Crescent, which route
is already overburdened in the summer months with the incom-
patible traffic of logging trucks and tourists who wish to
drive slowly and view the scenery with frequent stops; and
WHEREAS, relocating P. S. H. 112 around Lake Crescent
would add to the unsatisfactory conditions now existing,
thousands of boat trailers going to the west end for salmon
fishing at the peak of the tourist season further hindering
the efficient operation of logging trucks on which operation
a large portion of the economic life of this City depends; and
WHEREAS, it is the function and responsibility of the
Washington State Highway Department to provide the most direct
and unobstructed route to the west end of Clallarn County for
the thousands out of County residents who go there each season;
now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Port Angeles strongly protests any abandonment or relocation
