Despite the fact that the ribbon cutting on the CWT Martin Way bridge was a couple months ago, I still wanted to acknowledge it, and also to report on the prospects for the final bridge over Pacific Avenue.
Also, as mentioned earlier in this blog, Congressman Brian Baird was at the ribbon cutting ceremony, where he recalled the "citizen lobbying effort" about this phase of the project:
BTW, he's kidding about almost getting killed, though, right Congressman? Uh, sir?
(Olympia Power & Light also reported on the story, but I am sorry to say I cannot find a weblink for it.)
Anyway, I want to thank everyone involved in the project, as well as all those who came out to the even, undeterred by the iffy weather. Ironically, May's weather has been worse compared!
Very Good News: Pending closeout of the project, word from Thurston Regional Planning Council staff is that there is enough money left to fund property acquisition, design and possibly even full construction of the last portion of the "Gap Project" over Pacific Avenue, near the "Kite Girl" statue in Lacey. I wonder if she'll find another place to reside....
