This letter concerns the intersection of W Lauridsen / Airport Road / Edgewood Drive
4 months ago a log storage yard was established on the Airport, along Airport road.
At that time diamond shaped signs were placed along Lauridsed, stating "trucks
entering and leaving the road" these signs have done little to slow traffic thru the
intersection. On days that a log ship is being loaded Lauridsen Blvd between the
intersection and the Tumwater truck route, become like a raceway for log trucks,
most of the way right next to Lincoln Park. z do not believe W Lauridsen is a
designated truck route.
In the next several weeks the Log de-barking facility will be running and loaded log
trucks will be arriving and leaving that facility. Log trucks will be crossing or
turning at the intersection and will be heavy, long, and slow. Traffic coming from
the West on Edgewood has limited site distance coming to that intersection.
This intersection should become a 4 way stop, and Lauridsen Blvd speed limit should
be reduced from 35mph to 25mph especially past Lincoln ParK.
Please make a change to this intersection before accidents happen, not after.
Thank You,
