On hearing this Commissioner
Ross Gallagher confirmed that
the access from Lynch Road onto
the northbound freeway lanes
to Shelton will remain in place.
Public Works Director Charlie
Butros said information from the
Washington State Department
of Transportation indicates that
right turns off 101 onto Lynch by
northbound vehicles will still be
allowed once the extension is con-
structed. However, state officials
Commissioner Lynda Ring-Er-
ickson said there are some mis-
conceptions about what the project
plans entail. "I think that there's
probably a continuing issue of ed-
ucating the community," she said.
RING-ERICKSON said she
hopes to not only have education-
al conversations now but contin-
ue having them to "get the right

"This will allow Mason County
Public Works to move forward
with the Washington State De-
partment of Transportation proj-
ect to increase the safety of the
traveling public by providing a
safe, convenient and cost-effective
alternative to the current U.S.
101-Lynch Road 'at grade' inter-
section," Butros said in his report
to the commission.
The 2005 Transportation Part-
nership Act of the Washington
Legislature provided $1 million
for this project, which Butros said
will end up costing approximately
$3.6 million. He said the public
works department feels the exist-
ing funding is adequate for now
and will continue to seek addi-
tional funding to support the con-
COMMISSIONER Tim Shel-
don recalled how relatively simple
the road extension project had ap-
peared a couple of years ago. How-
ever, the discovery of springs and
a difficult grade along Simmons
Road has made the extension
project more complicated than
originally expected.
"It will be a good project. It will
take a little longer, but it will be
primarily a safety project," he
said. "It has been a safety concern
for some time."
Sheldon said the Squaxin Is-
land Tribe has also expressed an
interest in possibly partnering
with the county and state on the
project.
