Mrs. Helen Hill was acknowledged in audience, who in turn, duced Mr. Homer Moultrop, President. Mr. Moultrop gave a brief background of AARP Chapter No. 658 and their interest in the retention of the Old Pasco/Kennewick Bridge. He stated they, primarily, supported retention of the Old Bridge as beinq more economically advantageous than demolition,and being needed as adaptive reuse for non -motorized traffic in the Tri Cities' developing trailway system. Mr. Snider questioned Chapter members who are residents of Richland having such an interest in the Pasco/Kennewick Bridge; further, that this proposal didn't truly reflect views of Pasco Senior Citizens. Mr. Moultrop reiterated that they represented all senior citizens of the Tri Cities. Further, they felt that another advisory ballot should be put before the people in November when a larger turnout can be expected. Following are five (5) major points they would like considered: 1) Impose a 5 -year moratorium on use of any local matching money for demolition of the retired Pasco/Kennewick Bridge. 2) Direct the prompt investment of any available local demolition matching money in a trust fund, the annual interest of which will be used to provide for long term bridge maintenance and a cushion against inflation.- 3) Instruct local government to urge the federal agencies involved to include the federal funding now designated for demolition to be in- vested in the Bridge Maintenance Trust Fund and merged with the local tax money. 4) Instruct local government to seek adaptive reuse of the retired bridge as soon as feasible after Passage of enabling legislation. 5) Demolition is energy consuming, whereas retention by incorporating of the bridge into the Tri -City trailway system for bicycle use would promote conservation of motor fuel.
