Black Diamond Development and Green Valley Road

Received this in my inbox tonight from Seattle cyclist Gary Strauss. GRR's, please read and take note. News story in the link above.

The Green Valley Road, a bucolic stretch of road from SR 169 to Flaming Geyser State Park to the Auburn-Black Diamond Road is being threatened by a nearby housing development. The Villages, a proposed housing development in Black Diamond, is planning to route the cars and school buses from their 4,800-home and 3-school village to the Green Valley Road, causing traffic congestion, the possible addition of traffic lights (where there currently are none) and decreased safety for cyclists.

Help State Senator Pam Roach and other residents of the Green River Valley in opposing the new road by writing a letter to the City of Black Diamond to them know you oppose the new road from The Villages:
