Kittitas County <br />Department of Public Works <br />411 N. Ruby Suite 1 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />June 2, 2022 <br />To Whom It May Concern, <br />RECEIVED <br />i U . 2922 <br />KITTITAS COUNTY <br />CiEf"I" P;'RI'C WOW <br />I live at 921 Hanson Rd in Ellensburg. Currently, the speed limit on Hanson Road is 50 mph. I am <br />requesting that the speed limit be reduced from 50 to 35mph at the start of the Hanson Road where <br />Thorp Highway intersects. <br />Our house is one half mile from the Thorp Highway intersection and we have had numerous pets killed <br />on Hanson Rd because I believe, the cars are driving too fast. We have lived in the house since 1982. <br />Since then, we have had two dogs and three cats, all family pets, killed on the road. <br />Our neighbors across the street, the Coat's, have two young daughters, in addition to a pet cat. They <br />are in agreement. Our next door neighbors, the Boderman's, are in agreement. I believe they have lost <br />their pets, too. <br />I was talking to a neighbor a few houses up from ours. She said that it is not uncommon to see dead <br />cats on the side of the road. <br />There are approximately 24 houses on Hanson for 1.2 miles, until the area becomes farmland. I propose <br />that the residential part of Hanson be at a safe 35mph and then increased as the road transitions into <br />areas of less density. <br />Sincerely, <br />t` <br />Cr4 C�1� <br />Louise Wright <br />509-899-1762 <br />Jazzercise.gal@gmail.com <br />
