Public
Meeting in Seattle on Groundbreaking Project to Build Wildlife Crossings
on I-90 east of Snoqualmie Pass
SEATTLE, WA---On July 7th, the Washington
State Department of Transportation is holding the final of three
official public meetings on the groundbreaking Interstate 90 Snoqualmie
Pass East Project. They are proposing a major upgrade to 15 miles of the
Interstate highway that incorporates a series of underpasses and bridges
for wildlife. This project will substantially improve driver safety and
wildlife protection where the highway cuts through a major wildlife
corridor in the heart of the Cascades. The proposal will expand the
freeway to six lanes and reduce avalanche problems with bridges and
tunnels.
Department of Transportation staff and
Secretary of Transportation Doug MacDonald will be present to talk with
citizens and take comments on the project. Visual displays and project
information will be on hand.
Rally for Wildlife Bridges At 3:30pm
conservation groups are hosting a tailgate party and rally outside the
hearing. A press conference will start at 4:00pm
