TO THE HONORABLE PAULA HAMMOND, SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION, AND TO

STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION:
We, your Memorialists, the Senate and House of Representatives of
the State of Washington, in legislative session assembled, respectfully
represent and petition as follows:
WHEREAS, Lewisville Park was built in 1930 and remains one of Clark
county's oldest regional parks; and
WHEREAS, Lewisville Park was listed on the national register of
historic places in 1986; and
WHEREAS, State route number 503 is a major north/south highway that
bisects the city of Battle Ground and provides a connection between the
city of Vancouver to the south and rural communities to the north; and
WHEREAS, In 1855, a conflict between the Klickitat Indians and the
inhabitants of Fort Vancouver was avoided, and the area later became
known as "Strong's Battle Ground"; and
WHEREAS, State route number 502 to the Battle Ground Highway
provides a recognizable name to this rather lengthy connection between
Interstate 5 and the city of Battle Ground; and
WHEREAS, State route number 502 is a major east/west highway that
provides a four-mile direct connection to the city of Battle Ground
from Interstate 5;
NOW, THEREFORE, Your Memorialists respectfully pray that the
Washington State Transportation Commission commence proceedings to name
state route number 502 the "Battle Ground Highway" and state route
number 503 from the junction with state route number 500 at Orchards,
thence northerly to a junction with state route number 502 at Battle
Ground, thence northerly to Amboy, the "Lewisville Highway."
BE IT RESOLVED, That copies of this Memorial be immediately
transmitted to the Honorable Paula Hammond, Secretary of
Transportation, the Washington State Transportation Commission, and the
Washington State Department of Transportation.
