Members of the Commission were shown aerial pictures of the section of W. M St. that is being petitioned to be added to the High Frequency Truck Route (HFTR). Staff informed the Commission that there is a newly constructed rail spur to the west of W. M St. and the accessibility/use of the rail spur is limited due to the road not being part of the HFTR. It is important to note that this discussion was to gauge interest in the expansion of the HFTR to include only the section of W M St. that is located between the rail spur and S 16th St. After consulting amongst one another and staff, the commission decided they would be open to consideration for HFTR expansion.
