RESOLUTION
Green River Interchange Supplement
The Valley Regional Planning Commission, composed of persons duly appointed
from the cities of Renton, Kent, Auburn and Tukwila, respectfully submits the
following resolution for consideration by the Honorable Albert D. Rosellini,
governor of the State of Washington, and members of the Washington Highway Commission:
After careful study of the proposed Renton freeway accesses between the West
Valley and East Valley highways, the commission is convinced that a grave error
will result if an off-on ramp is not constructed from the freeway to 153rd at
approximately 82nd or 84th Ave. So.
Necessity for such an access road is strongly urged in order to provide a
smooth and unhampered flow of traffic in this key area. The area becomes especially
vital in view of the traffic to Longacres race track. Intensive study of this
situation indicates that 75 to 80 per cent of all Longacres traffic - involving
2000 to 5000 cars daily during the racing season - will approach from the west,
on the Renton freeway, and must be parked within a two-hour period. This will
produce nothing less than traffic chaos in the funneling of cars through the
one presently proposed off ramp to the West Valley Highway and subsequently to
the Longacres entrance. This diversion of Traffic into the Longacres entrance, as
presently planned, will also stifle the traffic flow to Tukwila Downs Industrial
Park, now in final stages of completion.
Addition of a second off-on ramp in the proposed area connecting with
South 153rd will permit excessive freeway traffic to bypass the West Valley off
ramp for approximately one-half mile, leading Longacres traffic into an easier
traffic pattern to 153rd Street and then west to the parking lots.
Not only is Longacres traffic affected by the insufficient off-on ramp
planning. The area involved is at present a key industrial section of the valley.
Present industrial construction now under way will be completed and in use before the
freeway is open, such as the new Boeing Space Center and Tradewell Distribution
Depot, creating an immediate heavy traffic usage on the West Valley Highway.
Heavy traffic already is recorded in this area, and the number of cars using
the main and feeder roads is absolutely certain to increase measurably with the
opening of these new industries already on the drawing boards, with no consideration
of those proposed for the future. Consequently, in a very few years, a complete
group of off-on ramps will be needed in order for traffic to flow both north and
south through the center of the valley. Only by anticipating this tremendous
traffic flow now and correcting the present plan can any acceptable traffic
pattern be assured for the immediate future. •
-1-
The Valley Regional Planning Commission is highly appreciative of the work
and planning which already have been recorded in easing traffic congestion in the
valley. The Commission also is cognizant of the problems involved in adding this
second off ramp, principally the lack of federal funds. So strongly do we believe
in the necessity for this second ramp, however, that we are urging use of state
monies, if necessary, in order to build this road. The proposal is made because
of the Commission's sincere conviction that the additional access road is
absolutely necessary in meeting the real traffic problem in the valley. This is
the area in which we live and work; Commission members have had an opportunity
to observe and study at first hand this proposal and present it in the certain
knowledge that its inclusion is vital and urgent because of the tremendous
industrial expansion already under way and even now affecting the total traffic
picture.
The Commission, therefore, is urging immediate consideration of this
proposed additional access road from the freeway and its inclusion in the
original construction of this section of the Renton freeway.
Action on this matter by the governor and the highway commission will be
deemed an act of good faith as we work together to solve these vexing traffic
problems.
