WHEREAS, Sims Way (SR20) along the Bluff Corridor (Washington Street to
the ferry terminal) has limited pavement width and currently has inadequate shoulder
width on the north side of the road to accommodate bicycles and on the south side of the
road to accommodate both parked vehicles and bicycles; and
WHEREAS, City Council has previously deliberated this matter at council study
sessions and a council business session and directed the City staff to provide alternatives
with respect to parking on SR 20 between the ferry dock and Keamey Street taking into
account safety, business and residential parking, efficient management of ferry traffic,
and non-motorized transportation impacts; and
WHEREAS, eliminating parking on this section of SR 20 would allow for
correct line-of-sight distances for pedestrian and vehicular traffic transiting the area, safer
bicycle passage, and improve the efficiency of ferry traffic management during peak
traffic periods; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is
completing a pavement overlay project in the summer 2001 and as part of that roadway
work they will be restriping the lanes along this corridor to widen the shoulder area on the
