Decisions on how to handle congestion on one street clearly could have ripple effects across the community. That message was illustrated by the fact that approximately 50 citizens turned out for the Dec. 4 joint White Salmon City Council/Klickitat County Commissioners meeting regarding NW Lincoln Street.

Those in attendance at the Park Center included many residents of Lincoln Street who were seeking some type of action to help slow traffic on the narrow street, part of which is under the county's jurisdiction while the remainder is within the city limits of White Salmon.
