Wal-Mart Late On Road Paving Project
Steve Klein of yelmcommunity.org appears to be the only one paying attention to the fact that the Wal-Mart built in Yelm is now 6 months past its promised due date of completing a paving project that was suppose to help the flow of traffic around the new Wal-Mart.
Klein wrote Yelm’s Community and Government Relations Coordinator Cindy Teixeira for an update and as of November 22nd has gotten no response.
Klein states:
To reiterate, the Yelm Wal-Mart was ONLY permitted to be built by using the Yelm Bypass to mitigate its traffic.
The connector to 103rd was supposed to assist in that until the Bypass is built. As has been reported here ad nauseum, the Bypass was unfunded then and now and may be unavailable to mitigate Wal-mart’s traffic for 8-10 years after the Superstore opened in 2007. Why was Wal-Mart allowed to be built with an unfunded Bypass to mitigate its traffic?
Kudos to Steve Klein and yelmcommunity.org for paying attention
