SEQUIM — Completion of the Simdars Road interchange at U.S. Highway 101 is the top priority of the city’s six-year transportation improvement plan introduced Monday.
Cities and counties are required to develop an annual six-year projected road plan, including funding details.
“It’s really a wish list,” Mayor Walt Schubert said Tuesday.
The Simdars Road interchange, east of downtown, has an on-ramp for eastbound traffic and an off-ramp for westbound vehicles.
The interchange was designed without other ramps when the state Department of Transportation moved Highway 101 out of the downtown core in 1998.
Transportation officials have said there is no planning or funding for modifying the interchange.
