This effort will <br /> result in a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) identifying potential projects <br /> which would result in increasing safety for all road users. <br /> Due to the unique seasonal dynamics of Snoqualmie Pass, Public Works and our <br /> consultants placed a strong emphasis on community engagement and feedback. A <br /> Stakeholder group was created consisting of local members of the community including <br /> residents and business owners, Washington State Department of Transportation <br /> (WSDOT) maintenance and planning personnel, police agencies (including Washington <br /> State Patrol and County Sheriff s office), the Local Fire District, and others with a vested <br /> interest in improving safety in the area. <br />
