the CITY OF RENTON, copy of which is attached hereto and by re�erence incorporated
herein; the sgecific suggestions being:
1. An artesial link from the Sunset Highw�y on a location under-
crossing the freeway at the North Renton Interchange, and
termination at a relocated Benson Highw�y.{Secoadary .State
Highway 5-�C). � _ .
This location wouZd be a major service to the industriaZ complex, eould
by-.pass the Central Business District in close proximity, and
perf orm a dual f unction complementing both industrial and commercial
Renton. �.e location could use the multi-lane Talbot Road under-
crossing of the freeway now planned by the Highway Depsrtment.
2. Relocate Benson Highwaq (SSH 5-C) to take full advantage of
the noted., multi-�lane bridge, and.avoid problem horizontal and
vertieal �lignment.
3. An arterial route from Primary State Highway 2-RE at Renton West
City Limits along Walla Walla and Fif th Avenue, and connecting to
Sunset Boulevard East vicinity PSHS-MP (Maple Valley Bra�ch.).
