Re: Support for the Anderson take State Park Trail
Dear Commissioners,
On behalfofthe City Council of the City ofPort Angeles, I write to encourage you to include the
planning and development ofa multlpurpose trail through Anderson Lake Park. Historically, the
Port Angeles City Council has been very supportive ofprojects that are in connection with the
Olympic Discovery Trail. It is our hope that you will make the Anderson Lake State Park Trail
itern a top priority for funding in the 2019-2021bienrfal capital budget.
The trail never would have happened without the positive collaboration between jurisdictions. It is
because ofthis teamwork that the trail has developed into what it is today. Currently, the City is
working on the Marine Drive to 10ft Street portion of the trial with only a few remaining segrnants
not yet complete. It is our hope the trail continues to develop with your support and will eventually
connect cities and communities throughout the Peninsula.
