There is a big new yellow line running down the middle of Jewett Boulevard in White Salmon. The 18-inch stripe was installed by the Washington State Department of Transportation, which signifies cars cannot cross for any reason. White Salmon Mayor David Poucher says it came about after the City talked to state transportation officials about dealing with drivers making U-turns to get into parking spaces on the south side of Jewett. The City recently mandated back-in parking on the south side of Jewett Boulevard, and Poucher noted that a grace period is underway before active enforcement begins on August 1.
