MPaul_Hansen Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 History on US 2 ... About 40-35 years ago plans were afoot to eventually make US 2 into a four-lane highway and by-pass small towns like Sultan as was done to North Bend for I-90. The governor(s)et al at that time deferred US 2 improvements. I-90 improvements 'took center-stage' but even these were delayed DECADES !! (lawsuits,etc.) [no joke] Perhaps some entity [an expanded Sound Transit ?? } could provide occasional bus service to passes as is done in the winter to go to Stevens Pass. Just a thought, no advocacy here. [see NWHiker thread on bus service to/near mtns, ie to Newhalem WA, Darrington, etc.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Don't know if you care, but here's the scoop - WSDOT has just begun a Corridor Study of US 2 between Monroe and Skykomish. It's an 18 month process that looks at traffic models, safety issues, constraints, views of the jurisdictions along the way, etc. What is supposed to come out the other side is an implementation plan for projects to "fix" the problems. One of the things likely to pop back up on hte table is the 522 - Monroe - US 2 bypass. Of course alot of this depends on money. WSDOT has $500k for the study and usually doesn't drop that kinda cash unless they're going to move forward. We'll see - and oh yea - than gas tax recall thing could affect it.
