EW Veterans Task Force- Highway 902 Naming Proposal
Individual comments are encouraged at the address below. Please feel free to share this with your contacts.
Highway 902 Naming
The Eastern Washington Veterans Task Force initiated a proposal to name State Route 902 from mile marker 0 to 12 the Gold Star Memorial Highway. The term Gold Star is used to identify a servicemember who lost their life in service to their country, the ultimate sacrifice. The designation honors the service member’s ultimate sacrifice while acknowledging their family’s loss, grief, and continued healing. There is a large population of gold star families residing in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho who have experienced that loss. This proposal recognizes their sacrifices. A number of state elected officials from Eastern Washington have endorsed this request in writing. This proposal has the support of a number of civic and veteran organizations as well.
A formal proposal has been submitted to the Washington State Transportation Commission, which is expected to reconvene as COVID-19 restrictions allow.
