PORT TOWNSEND – The city’s main entrance, Sims Way – accident-prone and reaching its vehicle-handling capacity – is caught in a traffic jam of differing viewpoints.

Such was the case at a City Council workshop at City Hall that lasted until 10 p.m. Monday, in a meeting where some 20 business owners spoke their minds and which Mayor Mark Welch called “long and intense.”

The major questions remaining at the forefront of the controversy: Roundabouts or traffic signals at the Sims/Howard and Sims/Thomas Street intersections?
