It is a half mile long dead end road with 15 junctions. <br />Nine of the junctions are crossings for agricultural / KRD use with the remaining 6junctions <br />for numerous private residences. There is a posted speed limit of 25 mph at the end of the <br />pavement where it says end of county maintenance. Most of the road length is a steep hill with <br />a break in slope that does seem to impact sight distance at the approximate mid- point of the road. <br />As we discussed there are no warning signs on the road for the heavy agriculture use. There is one <br />farm tractor sign on Denmark road about a half mile away. We would like to request that you begin <br />the process to collect the data you need to make a determination if the blanket 50 mph county speed <br />for all unmarked rural roads is appropriate for this location. Thank you, <br />Steve Wegner and Tish Eaton <br />391 Vanderbilt Rd. <br />Ellensburg, WA. 98926 <br />(503) 318-7774 <br />
