Some local and state leaders said $30.5 million to construct the U.S. Highway 101 East Sequim Road Project — including completion of the Simdars Road interchange — could be moved to in-progress larger projects if Initiative 2117 passes as state transportation funds may be reduced to compensate for reduced funding for efforts to reduce the state’s carbon footprint. The Sequim project is near the top of the state’s Move Ahead Washington grant program and funded by the Climate Commitment Act (CCA), which would be repealed if I-2117 is passed in the Nov. 5 general election.
