I want to highlight the remarkable accomplishments in helping to plan and fund the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of State Route Highway 203 and Tolt Hill Road. Councilmember Ryan Burrell and I were tasked with this exciting project earlier this year by our City Council. We have taken this interjurisdictional project on with fervor!
I have put in a lot of time and commitment into enhancing our city's infrastructure in order to ensure the safety and convenience of our residents. Here are some key achievements:
✅ Traffic Safety: The roundabout project will be designed in the future to improve traffic flow and enhance safety at this critical intersection. The dedication of the Safety Committee will prioritize the well-being of our community members. Car and accidents and injuries have driven the committee to champion this project, which promises to reduce accidents and congestion.
✅ Funding Advocacy: My relentless efforts to secure funding for the roundabout have been pivotal in making this project a reality. I have enjoyed collaborating with regional agencies, researching grants, and rallying support from various stakeholders.
✅ Community Engagement: Throughout the planning and development process, I have remained attentive to the concerns and suggestions of our residents. The key has been open communication and willingness to listen and reflect, thus ensuring that the roundabout project serves the needs of the community.
✅ Economic Benefits: The completion of the SR 203-Tolt Hill Road roundabout is expected to have positive economic impacts, facilitating smoother traffic flow for local businesses and residents alike. The Safety and Economic Development Committee’s forward-thinking approach to community development is creating a thriving and interconnected Carnation.
Our city is deeply invested in the betterment for our citizens. I am proud of my tireless work on the roundabout project. I feel passionately about serving the people of Carnation and fostering an environment of progress and improvement.
As this project continues to unfold, we can look forward to a safer and more accessible Carnation.
