Philip Morley, County Administrator
From: Monte Reinders, Public Works Director / County Engineer
Agenda Date: June 17, 2019
Subject: Hearing on Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT) - 4 Corners Road to
Anderson Lake State Park
Statement of Issue: Jefferson County has been awarded funds through the WA State
Recreation Et Conservation Office (RCO) for the planning, acquisition, and development of
the shared -use Olympic Discovery Trail (ODT). Phase 1 was a route report for the ODT
from South Discovery Bay to the Larry Scott Trail at Mito-Curry Road. This hearing will
allow the public to comment on the creation of a segment of the ODT from 4 Corners
Road to Anderson Lake State Park.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's Et Con's: On May 20, 2019, the Board was briefed on the
route report for the ODT from South Discovery Bay to the Larry Scott Trail. A new multi-
use trail for non -motorized travelers would solve the safety issues posed by combining; the
use of State Route 20 with motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians and equestrians. Filling in
this section of the ODT would help complete the 30 year old vision of connecting the
communities of the North Olympic Peninsula from Port Townsend to La Push with a 130
(+/-) mile long trail. This trail section would be incorporated into the 1,200 mile long
Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail (running from Glacier National Park in Montana to
Qzette), and the 3,700 mile coast to coast Great American Rail -Trail. This segment of the
ODT may be established by a resolution of the Board.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: Funding for this design and right of way
acquisition project is managed through RCO from unused funds appropriated for the RCO
by Section 3026 of Washington Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 2380, signed by
Governor Inslee on April 18, 2016. All right of way acquisition will be on a willing seller
basis. Local match funds are not needed from Jefferson County.
Recommendation: Sign the attached Resolution to create a new segment of the ODT
from 4 Corners Road to Anderson Lake State Park.
