Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley
The Touchet Valley Trail organizers held a meeting on Monday, September 23 at Waitsburg's City Hall. The meeting's content and delivery closely followed last week's meeting in Dayton (covered below) with a detailed PowerPoint presentation that included information about the genesis of the trail, its benefits, safety issues, planning and engineering, plus results from community surveys.
Following the meeting, attendees were directed to various areas in the back of the room for a chance to have their specific questions addressed. Those available to address questions were:
Mary Campbell - Executive Director of Commitment to Community
Adam Schmidtgall and Bryan Hansen- engineers from Anderson Perry,
a civil engineering, surveying, and natural resources firm
Clara Dickinson McQuary - Washington State Parks
Paul Gonseth - Washington State Department of Transportation
Shaun Darveshi - Palouse Regional Transportation Planning Organization
Kari Dingman - Department of Fish and Wildlife
Jon Campbell - Architect
Sheriff Mark Crider – Safety questions
Joy Smith – Waitsburg Commercial Club
Kathryn Witherington – Port of Columbia
Jennie Dickinson - Executive Director, Port of Columbia
In addition, on each seat in the meeting hall was placed a detailed fact sheet and a comment and contact form, to be deposited in multiple baskets throughout the room.
