MANAGER'S REPORT: CHASE STREET/EMPIRE WAY INTERCHANGE: The following letter was written by the City Manager to the Department of Highways: "Since the announcement of the Engineering Study Recommendations regarding the location of Interstate Highway 82 and the proposed locations of inter- changes, the City of Pasco has begun a review of our Arterial and Thorough- fare Plan to see what revisions, if any, would be needed to provide for the expected change in traffic pattern in the City. We understand that a reco- mmendation was made for providing Access and Egress at Chase Avenue and Interstate 82 along with some other locations. If this is the case, we feel that Chase Avenue will become one of our most important Arterial Streets, carrying a much higher traffic volume than previously anticipated. It follows then, that in our opinion, a complete review should be made of the interchange plans at Chase Avenue and PSH #3 which we understand is scheduled for the next biennium. We want to get our Arterial System planning com- pleted and projects included in our construction program so that our timing will coincide with the construction program of the Highway Department. Only in this way can we obtain maximum immediate benefits of our construction dollars and avoid a crash program which is usually more costly and results in congestion and bad public relations. We would welcome the opportunity to sit down with you and your staff and discuss this problem in more detail as soon as there is any assurance that the location of Interstate 82 is final. We would particularly like to discuss the Chase Avenue U.S. 410 interchange at your earliest convenience." Mr. Menasco reported that the State was now in the process of taking traffic count at Chase and By Pass Highway.
