INCREASING peak hour con-
gestlon on primary and
secondary highways leading
into Tacoma is developing a
traffic problem which must
be given attention in the very
near future.
il is not just an occasional
thing; it is an every day az
fair, winter and summer.
Tacoma's traffic to and
from its suburban districts
has long ago outgrown the
rather elementary routes that
even today represent improve
ments considered good 20
years ago.
The principal trouble with
some of these routes is that
they are too narrow for the
amount of traffic they are
required to carry.
The county has contributed
some help through its county
wide WPA projects and with
state financial assistance, by
laying down oil mat surfaces
on routes that were rough.
untreated gravel or light oil
jobs before.
