Kittitas (pronounced 'KITT-i-tass') County is located in central Washington State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and the Columbia River.
Kittitas County, WA - 09/01/2015 - This year three entirely new venues will accommodate the County 6 Year Transportation Plan Open Houses. Each year Kittitas County Public Works holds open houses to allow the public to comment on the draft Six Year Transportation Plan.
This year Public Works is holding three open houses: one in Badger Pocket at Kittitas County Fire & Rescue Station 2-3 on the corner of Cleman & Tjossem Road on Tuesday, 9/8/2015 from 4pm to 6pm; one east of Cle Elum at Kittitas County Fire District #7 Station 72 on the corner of Airport Road and SR 970 on Wednesday, 9/16/2015 from 4pm to 6pm; and one at the County Fairgrounds in the Naneum Room on Thursday, 9/17/2015 from 6pm to 8pm. The Fairgrounds Open House will be held in conjunction with an Open House for No.6 Road residents to discuss a fall, 2015 project on No. 6 Road. This is a chance for the public to comment on the draft 2016 Transportation Improvement plan and to give input and suggestions about what they would like to see in future plans, regarding roads, bridges, trails, and other transportation improvements. The plan was recently adjusted owing to comments received from Teanaway residents. Kittitas County also is taking online, email, phone, and mail comments on the draft 2016 Transportation Plan, which identifies transportation projects for funding in the county. Two of the proposed projects prioritized for future funding are the widening of Weaver Road and the replacement of irrigation culverts on Airport Road east of Cle Elum. “We encourage the public to provide their input on staff’s initial proposal for 2016 transportation improvements. Based on public comment, we will adjust the proposal accordingly. We are specifically reaching out to areas in the County where we have not done so in previous years hoping to gather input on the 2016 plan,” Kittitas County Public Works Director Mark Cook said. You are invited to comment on the plan via email at publicworks@co.kittitas.wa.us via telephone at 509-962-7523 or by mail at Kittitas County Public Works, 411 N. Ruby St, Suite 1, Ellensburg, WA 98926.
