C 239 L 16
Synopsis as Enacted
Brief Description: Removing state route number 276 from the state highway system.
Sponsors: Senators Baumgartner and Schoesler.
Senate Committee on Transportation
House Committee on Transportation
Background: In 1973, state route number 276 (SR 276) was designated as a state highway in statute. SR 276 was designed as a north bypass route around Pullman and was to connect state route number 195 west of Pullman to state route number 270 east of Pullman.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) purchased the right of way for the route in the 1970s, but SR 276 was never constructed. Funding for construction of the bypass has not yet been identified. WSDOT is responsible for managing the unconstructed SR 276 right of way.
WSDOT may, through the surplus real property program, dispose of any real property, in full or in part, if the property is owned by the state, under WSDOT's jurisdiction, no longer required for transportation purposes, and in the public interest to do so.
Under the surplus property program, WSDOT may publish a call for bids, conduct a public auction, or sell the real property at fair market value to certain entities or persons including, but not limited to, other state agencies, the city or county in which the property is situated, and other municipal corporations.
Summary: Removes the designation in statute of SR 276 as a state highway.
