I have lived here since 2017 <br /> and raise my two kids who go to Easton School. My grandparents Lawrence (90 years old) <br /> and Bernice Graham(91 years old) who live on Railroad street in Easton do not have internet <br /> or email address. So they asked me to include them on this email. We all do not want a group <br /> to be representing Easton, WA. There never has been a group to represent Easton and we sure <br /> do not need one now. We are happy with our county and town the way it is. The verbiage on <br /> page 12, section 1.6, "Build one voice" is what we are referring too. <br /> We do not need public restrooms in Easton. There's a state park already and that Infrastructure <br /> is already there. Including iorn horse palouse to cascade trail restrooms. Why would we need <br /> more restrooms?Public restrooms are also mentioned as a goal on page 31, section 5.4, and <br /> more. <br /> Page 29, section 4.5, also contains "a day-use area or recreation hub along Railroad <br /> Street." Absolutely no. Grandma and grandpa laughed at this one. <br /> The town group has also submitted suggestion/comment that they would like to see sewer <br /> systems and sidewalks in town. Being on railroad street the main road in Easton my <br /> grandparents live at 1791. Having sidewalks would make it very difficult for them to park at <br /> their home. They're old. Also the snow and plows are really damaging to sidewalks. Would <br /> they make home owners purchase these said side walks or to have to switch to sewer? Old <br /> people who have lived here for 70 years cannot afford to make all these changes. You would <br /> be pushing out old residents. We are not sure why this group is trying to change Easton. We <br /> do not want restrooms, sidewalks, or light poles. Keep it country and old. <br /> The county is not pushing these infrastructure changes on their own; it is a community <br /> feedback led project. There's never been a mayor or Easton and we do not need a 5 0 1 c group <br /> trying to represent us either. <br /> Thank you for your time, <br /> Ashley Mankus <br /> 509-304-5443 <br /> Lawrence Graham <br /> 509-961-4519 <br /> Bernice Graham <br /> 509-388-7229 <br />
