Moving Ahead: Complete Streets bill passes Senate Committee!

Filed Under Transportation 

Last month, Great City supported Transportation Advocacy Day in Olympia, sending several members to Olympia to participate in small group meetings with legislators and help launch a new statewide campaign. Here is an update on one of our shared Transportation Advocacy Day 2 for this legislative session:

Complete Streets bill passes Senate Committee!

One of TCC’s top legislative priorities, the Complete Streets bill, ESHB 1071 passed out of Senate Transportation today. Sen Haugen, the Chair of the Senate committee, asked for support of the bill saying it is a good bill that gets Washington, “looking at things in a more holistic manner”. The bill had bipartisan support with all members of the committee voting for the bill except Sen. Erickson (42nd). Now the bill will wait in the Rules committee until it is ready for full Senate action.
