Pullman highways unsafe

Sat., Dec. 5, 2015

What is it about traffic safety that the Washington State Department of Transportation doesn’t get? Recently, two WSU students were killed on Highways 26 and 195. Both students were headed home for the Thanksgiving break. Neither one of these students got out of Pullman.

Several other persons were injured in these accidents. I’ve lived long enough to know these highways have always been a problem. They were built for farming vehicles. What does it take to get our legislators’ attention? Would this continue to happen if it was the main road into the University of Washington?

Please get on board and write Gov. Inslee and all legislators. For the sake and memory of those who have paid the price for this lack of action, please speak up.
