Aaron 5/14/24 2:30 PM I OPPOSE the Milroy Bridge Replacement Amendment to the Pierce Comprehensive Plan as it is currently proposed. It must keep the whole extension from 72nd Avenue and Canyon down to the Port of Tacoma. If it does not, you must vote NO on it. Yes, I would love to have the bridge rebuilt but only if the whole Canyon Road extension is complete with it. Pierce County desperately needs Canyon extended all the way to the Port of Tacoma. I live out in the Frederickson area and all these big rigs a flying down Canyon and all the warehouses being built is great for the community with jobs and the economy but we must have a thoroughfare from Frederickson to the Port so our side roads to not get jammed with all the freight truck traffic. Plus, your reasonings to not finish the project is ludicrous. You can not expect commuters to bike 20 to 30 miles to work each day in rain or frigid or even hot weather. Plus there is no mass transit from the rural communities that the Frederickson community serves. Your are foolish in thinking that people will just comply with riding bikes to work. One last note of contention is I do not want my hard earned tax dollars ($5.8 million) to be repaid back to the Federal government because you did not follow through with your commitment of where those dollars are suppose to go towards. 5.4 million is a lot of money. Let Pierce County finish the whole project and have Pierce County flow easily to the Port and more jobs and dollars will most likely come to our county.
