The White Salmon City Council has made safety moves for both pedestrians and motorists. The Council has approved the installation of pedestrian “bubble outs” at the corners of Main Street and Jewett Boulevard and Wauna and Jewett, which will be paid for by the Washington State Department of Transportation. Mayor David Poucher explains the “bubble outs” provide a safe place for pedestrians to begin to enter a crosswalk. In addition, Councilors approved changing to back-in parking on the south side of Jewett Boulevard. Poucher says back-in parking is safer because it eliminates people backing in to traffic when they leave a parking spot.
