We would hope it could be reduced to 35m.p.h. The 50m.p.b. is excessive for all but about 1/4 mile <br />of this stretch. There are more homes, bikers, walkers, children, pets and traffic coming and going to Irene <br />Rinehart Park and the river access by the bridge than there was when the speed limit was raised about 25 years <br />ago. We further request a 4 way stop at the interesection of Manastash/ Riverbottom/Umtanum Roads at the <br />Damman School. Our observation have shown us drivers at that intersection and the whole stretch to be <br />careless and disregard both the speed limit and the stop signs. If the 35 could continue on up the canyon as well <br />it would be good. Because 50m.p.h. is dangerous there as well. <br />
