City of Sunnyside roundabout design moves forward at I-82 exit 69

SUNNYSIDE, Wash. —Design work is moving forward for a roundabout at the Interstate 82 Exit 69 eastbound ramp and Highway 241 in Sunnyside to improve traffic flow and handle freight and development traffic. According to a presentation for city council members on November 4, a 2021 Falcon Ridge traffic study found future operation problems at the eastbound ramp terminal. It also said WSDOT required the city to study intersection changes tied to development traffic and approved a single-lane roundabout option in 2022. The planned work includes a single-lane roundabout at SR 241 and the I-82 Exit 69 eastbound ramp terminal. It also includes roadway reconstruction, drainage upgrades, person facilities with ADA curb ramps, lighting, signs and pavement markings. The city received $1,802,000 in Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board funding through the 2025-27 transportation budget. The update said design is fully funded through that money and developer contributions, the agenda report said. The preliminary engineering package totals $600,000. That included $527,000 for consultant design services and $73,000 for WSDOT services, the report added. Council approval of the design agreement is listed as the next step. After that, the city plans to begin design work and pursue additional construction funding.

Expanded services, less driving for vets. Work starts on new Tri-Cities VA clinic.

Work has started to build the Kennewick VA Clinic , a Tri-Cities clinic that will be 10 times larger than the current one in the Richland Federal Building and offer far more services. “The impact of this clinic is going to be measured far beyond concrete, brick and mortar,” said Luke Strozewski, acting regional operations officer for the Veterans Administration health service area that includes Washington state, at a ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday. “It’s going to be measured by healthier veterans, stronger families and lives that have been improved because the care is available right here in their community,” he said. The new VA clinic building will have about 100,000-square feet, more than 10 times the size of the clinic now in Richland. It will offer not only primary care for veterans but expand offerings to include pharmacy, prosthetics, laboratory services, dental, audiology, optometry, radiology, home-based primary care and support for homeless veterans, all in a modern medical setting. Just this week local VA officials also heard that funding had been made available to offer some specialized cardiology care in the Tri-Cities. The result will be fewer trips for veterans to the Jonathan Wainwright Memorial VA Medical Center in Walla Walla

Updated Benton County WA vote count sees Ki-Be levy move toward passing

Results on election night showed that a levy to help Kiona-Benton City schools with operations and their attempt to get off of a state financial oversight list was headed toward failure by just two votes. That meant the race was too close to call, with 775 ballots in support of the levy and 777 ballots opposed. “I know it sounds funny,” Said Pete Peterson, Kiona-Benton’s Superintendent, “but I wasn’t shocked because our last few elections have been exceedingly close.” Now that the ballot counts have been updated, the levy is passing by 32 votes, or 50.6% in support and 49.4% opposed.

Benton City election: Residents professionalize city government, reject levy lid lift

Benton City residents were approving a plan to professionalize city government and rejecting a levy lid lift, according to preliminary election results released Tuesday after polls closed. Proposition 1 to adopt a council-manager form of government was winning with 244 votes to 177, or 58% to 42%. Proposition 2, which would have raised the city’s levy rate to $1.60 per $1,000, was losing with 238 no votes to 193 yes ones, or 55% to 45%. Returns will be updated at 4 p.m., Thursday. The Benton County Auditor said it couldn’t estimate how many outstanding ballots could still come in. Proposition 1 will replace the city’s strong mayor form of government one that puts a paid city manager who works for the elected city council in charge. The cities of Kennewick, Pasco and Richland all have a council-manager form of government. Backers called it a wise investment in ensuring Benton City complies with the estimated 200,000 administrative rules and codes laid down by the state Legislature. Under the current system, an elected strong mayor, who is not required to be an expert in governance, is the city’s chief administrator. Backers say that has led to mismanagement and loss of development opportunities
