RESOLUTION NO. ~t1- 19
A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Port Angeles
urging the Washington State Department of Transportation to
immediately institute vehicle ferry service at LofaH-South
Point on Hood Canal and also urging that no tolls be placed
on any future bridge across Hood Canal.
,
WHEREAS, the economic well-being of the North Olympic Peninsula is
dependent upon fast, convenient vehicle access to the Seattle metropolitan area and
Kitsap County Bremerton area, and
WHEREAS, since the sinking of the Hood Canal bridge, travel to the Seattle
metropolitan is both inconvenient and time-consuming and impossible to get to Kitsap
County except around Hood Canal, and
WHEREAS, the people on the North Olympic Peninsula for years have been
burdened with carrying more than their fair share of the cost of operating the State
Ferry System due to tolls on Hood Canal bridge being diverted to the maintenance of
the State Ferry System.
NOW I THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Port Angeles to urge the Washington State Department of Transportation to:
1. Institute vehicle ferry service across Hood Canal at
LofaH-South Point as soon as possible, and
2. Move with haste in replacing the bridge across Hood
Canal, and
3. Accept the offer from the Federal Government of financial
aid so the total burden is not borne by residents on the
North Olympic Peninsula, and
.
4. That any financial arrangements to pay for a new bridge
should not include tolls.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at a regular meet-
ing of the Council held on the ..sit
day of June, 1979.
